Re: TB- Seedling

 

Griff , -  Thanks for the encouragement . I hope that the yellow / black red improves next year . If it keeps getting 4 buds & poor branching I would hate to keep passing those gene's onto other seedlings . The other two already have the bud count & nice branching  , just need to tweak the flower form a little .

Gary  --  If these were my seedlings, I'd work with all three of them.  Given their rich genetic heritage, I'd think you are only one more cross away from some irises that you'll be thoroughly pleased with.  The colors are already there.  Picking cultivars to cross with them that have the flower form and branching that you want  --  and that have (and, therefore, will probably transmit) the velvet effect in the falls  --  should get you there.  Don't overlook the possibly of some back-crosses, as well.  --  Griff

Sorry Griff , named the wrong Ghio iris as the Parent of the two toned purple & the yellow over almost black , it was STARRING not CONNECTION . ( STARDOCK x DUSKY CHALLENGER ) x STARRING )

 

the maroon red - ( VIGALANTE x GOLDEN PANTHER )

Nice colors in all 3 of these, Gary.  Maybe could do something with them.  What are the crosses?  --  Griff
