Re: Re: HYB Question and an SDB

Thanks Christian!

 

Looney has the following parentage:   Mochaccino X Brash  I am not sure if it is normally polytepal.  This was its very first bloom here.  If so, that will make two iris that we have that normally do this.  Prank by Keith Keppel always produces some polytepal blooms every year here in Champaign.  Sometime up to 6 falls although mostly 4 and 5.  Here is a shot of it with 6 falls.

Brian,

To answer your question the best and most current hybridizing infomation is probably on iris-talk. I think it operates as another yahoo group...I could very well be wrong... but someone else will sort it out.

Anyway, there is the archives at hort.net and that is well worth the reading. Search Niel Morgensen (I might have mispelled)he was a tremendous resource.

Naturally, what you're interested in specifically will indicate who you speak to.

Will somebody please post pedigree info for Looney? Have to put that one in my notes. Does anyone know if Looney is commonly poly tepal?
