I like some of the Space Agers, but I think I like the spooned ones the best.

That said, 'Durham Dream' really is colorful, Pam. Thanks for posting! (Thanks Marilyn, for all of your pics! Such a wide variety of Space Age beard forms and presentations!)

The images below are from my first bloom on 'Purple People Eater' - the elongated and curving upright beard on the left image looks to me like a cobra or something, ready to strike!

I don't know about length Whistling , but while it has not looked like this consistently, I thought that 'Alien Mist' was well endowed on this particular day. (Sorry for the otherwise ratty bloom.)

For overall wildness (though it tends towards flounces and spoons, rather than long beards) I still like 'White Extra'.

Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
