Re: Re: HYB: Pink Champagne seedling

Hi Franchelle,

Pretty seedling! 

I love the color of Pink Champagne but up close it has a rough appearance.  The veins really stand out.  Maybe I should have said, "Texture veining?"  This may only happen in my climate.  My spring weather may be a bit cooler than AZ.   

I'd thought it had something to do with plicatas in the parentage.  As I understand it now, the haft veins, and/or fall veins, haven't been a concern in the plicatas, and haven't been bred out. 

Kiss Me Twice had the same deep color here, but also had a rough appearance.  Maryott listed it's parents as unknown.  Kiss Me Twice did disappear over the freeze years. 

Neither have tried to rebloom here.

Hello, Betty,
I haven’t noticed anything unusual about its texture here.  It has good substance, and so do its seedlings.  It doesn’t seem to pass on its color.  However, a couple of its seedlings that bloomed this spring had the fieriest pink I have ever seen.  Unfortunately, they are in the few that did not have good form.  I’m hoping they might improve next year.  Here is a picture of one of them.  The pod parent is a coral pink that I registered this summer as Coral Dancer.  I posted a couple of pictures of 7636A last year.  They should be in the archives.

Francelle,

I love the color of Pink Champagne.  Does it pass on it's texture?   

Hope you have time to enjoy your fall.

I agree with Donald.  My favorite pink is Pink Champagne because it is a ve ry vigorous iris.  I have never been able to set a pod on it, but its abundant pollen sets pods on just about everything.  All of its seedlings are extremely vigorous, and it usually gives better form than its own.  I am using it to increase the vigor of some weak pod parents.

Not here. I haven't been able to make any correlation at all between
the apparent vigor of one or both of the parents in what turns up in
the seedlings. Pods between two strong growers have produced only
one or two or none strong growers and pods between two poor growers
have produced a uniform bunch of strong growers. It's all over the
board as far as I can tell. I'm thinking TB seedlings here, but it
applies to the AB=2 0crosses as well.
