Subject: [iris-photos] long awaited
seedlings
These seedlings are the from the first pod I ever got on an
AB X AB cross.
Way back in 2000, my second year at daubing. There
were only 5 seeds, but
three germinated and two survived. When
they hatched, little did I know
how awful the next few growing seasons were
going to be. I've despaired
more than once of their survival and
watched bloom stalks get zapped the
previous two years. But they
survived and finally, finally I get to see
what they look like. The
cross is ANACRUSIS X DESERT PLUM and for once I'm
as sure as one can be
about who the parents are. They are smaller than I'm
wanting to work
with - both measured at 15 inches tall today, fully expanded
blooms no
wider than a tennis ball, but I'm still pleased. I've waited
long
enough.
