generally, heavily inbred iris are weaker growers, so it's not limited to the luminata pattern. Some grow just fine, though they may be smaller plants. Of all that I have grown - the ones which have stuck around are New Leaf, Fancy Dress, Athens and Lip Service.

I have not had trouble with Telepathy, Daughter of Stars, or New Leaf. Those are the only ones I have, and all have done well.

Thanks Chad, thanks Renee! Love New Leaf that both of you have! I think Moonlit Water should do well, provided I don't indulge in my worst habit--moving them too often. Meanwhile, however, I'm also saving my pennies for Spendthrift--hopefully it will be cheaper (a little) next year than this year!

Oh goodness. That one will make a statement! I think Moonlit Water will do fine for you.
