Arilbreds in very cold climates

---

Quarterbreds do well in my climate  in the mountains of New Hampshire. Moisture and humidity are the problems that I have

to be vigilant about….I have my Arilbreds planted in a highly-raised sandy bed no the severe cold. I think that the designation (OGB) without any - or + signs means it is a 1/2 bred I am trying some 1/2 breds this year... I have attached two photos I took

 this year in my garden of ‘Omar’s Gold’ and ‘Persian Sapphire’.

Hello, all.....

I have just registered this arilbred (OGB) with the American Iris Society under the name Centaur's Song.  It is fertile both ways.  It has good increase,

 healthy foliage, branching, and it is a good grower here in the high desert plateau of eastern Washington, where temps range from 112 F to -10 F,

 average precipitation between 7 and 9 inches.  (King Solomon's Mines X Welcome Reward)
