I was always wondering why there are so many nearly identical irises on the market. I do realize that it is extremely difficult to produce a unique iris, but with some, I cannot even tell them apart. The people that approve these introductions; who are they? Do they know about their "almost twins"?
For instance, go to Rocky Top Garden's webpage and look at Jadzia $50.00
Then look 3 down from that,
Jeanne Clay Plank $10.00
On Sutton's website there are quite a few that are similar, but not really almost identical...
Adventurous
Bandwidth
Bold Pattern (more ruffles)
Brighton Beach
Color Shift
Fresh Flavor
Into the Wild
And then they have:
Fruit Stripe
Glamazon ...without the stripes
I have seen a whole lot of blue-violet and white ones with almost the same features. I thought that the idea was to bring in new designs. I didn't say it was easy, as I think I may be 10 years on just one, if I am lucky! (Lucky enough to live that long and to still be able to work in the garden.)
Which ones have you seen that you could not tell apart? Did you get them both?
Can we see your pictures?
