Re: HYB: Questionable seedling

breed it as much as possible, it has that nice "melted crayon" patterning and very nice form and color. lack of vigor can be overcome by taking the pollen to a vigorous plant and sometimes vice versa.
Good luck.
Best regards
Mike

Subject: [iris-photos] HYB: Questionable seedling

This is the time I have to make final decisions on some of my seedlings.  I need suggestions about this one.  It has bloomed four years for me, and I have received more compliments on it than on most of my other ones.  I have been told that it is a unique color and pattern.  Its problem is that it a poor grower, subject to many problems in my garden.  After all this time, I have only two healthy rhizomes.  I am tempted to toss them, yet I hate to.  What should I do?
