{Disarmed} Re: Re: [iris]HYB:Wearing Rubies

Margie  --  The last one that I posted  --  WR x sdlg 01J14:(984M7:(Champagne Elegance x Lady Friend) x Romantic Evening)) --  is the one that I think has the best odds of producing something good in the first generation.  Both WR and 01J14 have very similar coloration, including the beards.  Both have ruffled, velvet falls.  However, I hope that 01J14's flaring falls may modify WR's pendulous falls to a happy median.  Both also have good branching and proportion.  Both 01J14 and WR, apparently, have rebloomers in their background, so one can hope a bit on that score, too.  And then there's that bit of amoena heritage on both sides.  --Griff

Griff - that is a lot of WEARING RUBIES children you have growing!  All look and/ or sound so promising!  Is there a specific cross that you are really eager about?

Betty -- The last of the WR entries: 22 seeds in this lot. WR x sdlg
01J14:(984M7:(Champagne Elegance x Lady Friend) x Romantic Evening)). 01J14
is the maddeningly slow increaser mentioned in an earlier post today. But
I've been working with hard-to-hybridize flowers for so long, why stop
ow? -- Griff
