Betty,
There are several flatties. Tom Johnson just introduced a new one this year Voulez - Vous. It is featured on the cover of Mid-America's 2015 Catalog. Fred Kerr released Orbison in 2009. Older ones that come to mind are George Slade's Six Pack and Sanford Babson's Impersonator. I am sure there are others.
Janet,
In the current Judges Handbook Chapter 13 is entitled Novelty Bearded Irises. It lists five types of Novelty Irises. They are: Multiple Petaled Flowers (example Full House), Random Color Application (example Batik), Variable Color Patterning (example Joseph's Coat), Flat-Shaped Flowers (example Orbison) and Variegated Foliage (example Dots And Splashes). I hope this helps you with your concern about your novelty section. As Gerry previously stated, many clubs have been having a novelty section at shows for many years; I first encountered these sections at shows in the 1980's.

Gerry, this is a new one for me. Are there many âflattiesâ out there? I can think of one â was it âFlopsyâ, or am I dreaming?
Betty Roberts
Flatties is one possibility.

Okay - what do you put in Novelty that the judges would judge?
We already have categories for: Plicata, Space Age, Self,
Bi-Tone/Bi-Color.
