Iris, perhaps the problem lay with the number of seedlings from the original cross, and or the amount of distribution. We had Twinkle from the original cross made by Goodale Moir in the '60s,  I think, with very few seedlings from it, but not until it was re-made and widely distributed commercially did one become aware of it. It's been a wonderful little plant.
