Susan Louise, An Arilbred is native to the middle East, but was brought here and crossed with Bearded Iris, some can grow them here, for example Arizona, New Mexico, true Arils will grow well there, after all they love desert conditions, but when they are crossed with Bearded Iris, they become hardier and cans survive in other zones. They classify them in different species, ex: RB OGB, they may have a plus or minus, depending on how much bearded iris they have in them. I'd spell the abreviations out for you, but wow are they big words. You can spot an Arilbred a mile away, most have a dark central spot on the falls, closed standards and sometimes curled falls. Although this one really does not have a dark central area.
