Hi Mary Ann
They may relax a bit more than this pic shows but do not become droopy. I am not a big fan of the straight out flair as much as I once was but I sure don't want droopers either. It has been my observation that most of the time when falls are wide enough to overlap, they do not droop into the dog-ear form that I really, really dislike. I probably should have introduced this already since it is a good grower, great bud count and nice ruffling especially for one so dark. Just haven't got around to it, though I do have enough stock to do so. Maybe it was because a judge once criticized me for saving an iris without the clean hafts. Some of the judges are still holding the line on that. Especially the older judges. I have saved it mainly with the intention of someday working for the black plicatas. Right now I am soliciting material to boost my gene pool for that project.
