Subject: [iris-photos] another AB
seedling
This one is ZERZURA X DESERT MOONLIGHT. Exactly what
I expected and also
what I hoped for. This is a dull cross for
me. Not as much fun as the TB X
AB or wilder crosses. However,
for once I was after something specific. Of
all those in this color
pattern, DM is my favorite. It just has been a
better, more
consistant performer without any snaking and really good
substance.
Though I get things via its pollen, it won't set seeds for me.
So I was
hoping for a plant with some of the DM characteristics that would
set a
pod. This one will work just fine if it will. It bloomed today in
wind blowing from 25-35mph. It's still standing and so are the
standards.
No sign of the weak standards or occasional (not often) snaking
of Z. DM
traits. There are a dozen or so siblings that
probably won't bloom this
year. So maybe enough will have what I
want and also be readily pod
fertile.
