Iris - exposed?

Jim,
Thanks. This was an excellent primer! And thanks also for the links;
those will be helpful too.
When you said the "Dutch" type of Iris was a more complex variety, what
did you mean. I'm interested because although I now know that these are
not all that easy to keep growing in a lot of places, the ordinary
"store-bought" mixture I planted at my parents' house in Central Texas
almost 20 years ago has naturalized and continued to spread and thrive
in huge clumps that bloom every spring for my mother. So I'm interested
in their probable origins (species and locations).

Dear Lee et al;
I fear that Bob's presentation was needlessly confusing without
presenting a base line. Let me try to simplify things and give you a
start on the genus.
