Re: yellow I. reichenbachii bracts/spathes


I have a yellow *reichenbachii* here.  I will be watching its blooms for this characteristic, as I believe from what was said at the time the plant was forwarded to me that its identity had a degree of uncertainty about it.
 
Has anyone succeeded in getting hybrids between the yellow *reichenbachii* X Astrachanica KALMIKIJ?  I would think a line of breeding  including these plus Peyrard's *timofejwii* X *variegata* hybrid and some of the shortest *pallida* variations such as LOPPIO might make for some interesting SDB sized n=12 beardeds distinctly different from the 4n tetraploid X *pumila* types.  I think I remember L. F. Randolph or others suggesting this line of thinking, perhaps also suggesting *perrieri* and *variegata* Reginae but I've not yet run across such projenies in the R&I's or Check Lists.
