Teresa....look at Fluffy Pillows in the data base. It is a flattie. As to preferred form......I was a judge in the 70's and 80's when the leading hybridizers were working hard to produce wider more ruffled modern looking iris with good substance.. My eye just came to select the modern form. Narrow plain seedlings were discarded. To my knowledge no one is successfully introducing iris with a historic look. The wonderful thing about a garden is that the gardener can grow what he likes. Do not give me any orange marigolds. If you like them your choice. My Grand Children would say that we live in the United States and have freedom of choice. If historics are your cup of tea then go for them. If you like a variety of forms go for it. I love ruffles but am not crazy for lace.........I'm rambling
