Thanks so much for everyone's advice. It's easy to find an iris answer with so many knowledgeable folks!
William, your link was incredibly helpful. I then also found a similar explanation on the Aril Society page:

I planted my first AB last year, 'Wine and Lilac', so I'm really looking forward to it. W&L is an OGB, so a half Aril. Maybe not the best choice for testing Arilbreds in my garden.
Experiential learner here.
Thanks again.
