Hello everyone.....
I am excited about this cross of (pum
7 X 'Tiny Temptress'). Pum 7 is a pumila seedling of mine. "TT" is a
pumila of the Willotts that they registered as an MDB. For once, I had a
batch of seedlings that were not all purple. In fact, both last year and
this year I have tossed all the purple seedlings for the reasons that their
substance was poor or else just because their purple coloring would dominate,
and I do not want to hybridize for purple irises. Seedling 1 is a cute
lemon yellow with brown rays at the tips of the beards that are white and turn
tangerine in the throats. I tore a small piece out of the falls when I was
trying to free the bud from the sheath too early. Seedling 2 is in tones of blue and red violet with beards that
are near red in the throats. Seedling 3 is a darling little bright white
that has distressed blue violet fall patches. Beards are white and turn
orange in the throats. Another seedling was purple, but I tossed it
out. I will send photos of their siblings tomorrow.
