Sporadically following the seedling thread, I see lots of talk about branching, and striving for better branching.
I know what makes for good branching in daylilies, but I haven't a clue wrt irises. In general I would gather more branches = more buds, which is good (as is the case in daylilies), but that's not the entire story. Certainly you wouldn't want the open flowers interfering with each other, and certainly you wouldn't want all the branches bunched up at the top of the stalk (referred to as "top branching" in the daylily world).
So, please educate me. Or if there is a link that can easily and pictorially explain it to the ignorant, that would be much appreciated.
