LILTING is another of my reliable favorites. She has the flower form I find ideal - beautifully domed standards, falls with enough pendancy to give her a traditional iris outline, and gentle ruffling that enhances rather than overwhelms. She looks like an iris, not like a bawdy helicopter blade with frayed and bubbled edges.

LILTING is also one of only six irises that has ever rebloomed for me, and she's the only one who's done it twice! This nearly-perfect beauty does have one unfortunate drawback, though. She's very slow to increase, so I never get more than one stalk from a very small clump.
