My experience

I have three main reasons to keep this nice historic iris.

First its specific color with metallic reflexions matches very well with other bright colors...however, very difficult to capture this metallic effect.

The second reason is with historic iris there is no problem, every year they bloom.

And finally it is the necessary balance with the very sophisticate new hybrids...it provides a quite feeling
