Paul I think his climate has a lot to do with it, where he is located is perfect growing conditions for Iris and what does really well there may not do well right away in Our colder climates they just dont get the high winds and freeze cycles like we do it would be impossible for him or another hybridizer to know how these will do in parts of the country with extreme weather because they dont experience it and I think the weather in that region does not change much very dry and hot alot like this miserable summer has been here hard to get anything done outside when its 100 plus everyday.
