I do have I. germanica, and the rhizome is doing very well, so I do expect decent blooms from it. I don't have any smaller ones, except a Dwarf bearded that someone told me is an ancient form of I. germanica. It was here when I bought the mobile home. It desperately needed thinning out, which I did, but now I need to add more rhizomes, so I chose 'Royal Maroon' an 8-inch MDB to fill in the empty spaces. It's lovely. I had originally wanted 'Cherry Garden' but it is to tall at 11-inches. I don't expect any blooms on my Iris until May, unless 'Crimson King' blooms out for me early.
