Subject: [iris-photos] REB: Bonus Mama X Neptune's Cloak

 

I need new batteries for the camera.  Here's the maiden bloom

photo from May 06, looking down on 2 blooms.  It's actually

almost white.  Reminds me of Lunar Whitewash.  Bloomed last

spring without rotting, but no pollen and didn't set a pod.  It's

35", 3 branches, 8 buds.  Had 14 from the cross, 12 white or

near white, two mid blue.  Have had uniformly wide form from

Bonus Mama, more color with pinks, yellows, reds. (Duh!) The

height is all over (I Do influence) and so far all too late for here.

 

Had a gorgeous dark yellow maiden using Rip City pollen last

spring. Pie crust ruffling.  Sorry, no photo - I was in no mood to

take pictures last spring.  Has a date with Bernice's Legacy.

Also a few with Pink Starlet and Starring pollen that should

bloom in May.  Seedlings have been strong growers once they

break ground, but a high percentage of rotted seeds for me.

 

BTW - Temp in my crisper is 45F.  Sun room fluctuates from

45-55 when it's cold out.

 

Mary Lou, near Indianapolis, Z5 - brutally cold today, no snow cover
