Griff,
You asked if I can see any iris in my
garden that I would like to (hopefully) transfer the colors of this pumila
seedling to. I don't plan to make any crosses of this with other pumilas,
and the only other iris in bloom is a form of I. attica that has golden
yellow standards and red-brown falls. So I saved the pollen and dried
it. I have a couple of my own arilbred seedlings that I'd like
to try it with, one of which has greenish tones in its falls.. Because
one of the blue tones in the pumila seedling is to the mid-turquoise side,
I'm thinking of trying it with Don Spoon's SDB 'Teagan' or Paul Black's SDB 'Tu
Tu Turquoise'. Or I might try it with I. stolonifera to get some
new colors into my "stolpum" lines. Then again, there are a couple of
Bennett Jones' SDBs whose colors intrigue me.
