After all these years, 2 of those seedlings still
look good to me, the other 2 not so much, but they're all part of the family
now. They've all done well here too, 3 SDB's and 1 IB, plus 3 other
SDB's named after my husband, a niece and nephew.
My daughter wants one named after her, but I'm much
more fussy nowadays, poor child.

Thanks
El, It's ironic you named your first sdlgs. after your
grandchildren. I want a couple of good irises to name after my two
nieces, Olivia & Sophie. Billy "When one tugs at a single thing in

Congrats on your first sdlg, Billy. It bears watching. My
first few seedlings are named after my 4 grandchildren, just garden names, not
registered. They all come to visit "their" iris when I let them know
it's about to bloom. El, near Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Z3 -----

08-01D, Moon Over Madness X Barbara Jean. 5 buds, tight
branching. There are 3 other seedlings from this cross, but no
bloom from them this year. I really like the style arms and interested in
seeing what it does the next couple of years. All comments or
criticisms greatly appreciated. Billy "When one tugs at a
