Hello down/up there Colleen !
Your G63 is gorgeous !
Guess it's grand mother Lemon Fever has a lot to do
with it, with Radiant energy and Wings of dreams in
the background !
Even if the siblings don't have flounces, i would love
to see some of them, how wide is the range of colours with these two
different parents?
They might not have big extentions, but they might
pass them to the next generatin, and if among them, one as all his other
caracteristics above the average, it still ight be a winner
!
Maybe one of them is a good rebloomer ?
As for F238, it's a shame it's not trustworthy,
the colours are so delicate !
But we cannnot win all the time, and like Keith Keppel
was saying in his 2006 catalogue : "But for those of us with a
gambling addiction, what better pastime for playing the
odds?"
Thanks a lot for these wonderful
pictures!

With nonSAxSA I'd say that in general at least
half would have some sort of beard extension.
The problem with SAxSA is that you can get huge
flounces but often there is pinching or misshapen as well.
This is a seedling F238 Margaret Inez x
Firebeard
Very messy with a high proportion of
misshapen.
This doesn't stop me from doing SAxSA
Because sometimes they come good
G63-06 It's Magic x Momentous Occasion
It has a few misshapen but it's gorgeous, huge and
fertile, bud count about 8, never pinches. Will probably register this
one. Waiting for the offspring to bloom. The siblings have only
horns and small spoons.
So it's a toss up: nonSA xSA or SAxSA or do as I do and
do both. With NonSAxSA the non-horned ones can be very good in themselves
but your less likely to get a very flashy super SA

Pretty seedlings.
When you use space age irises with those that have no appendages,
do you get a high percentage of space age seedlings?
