Sorry, I haven't been keeping up on the forums lately, so I just saw this. So, I went back and looked for some old links. Wow, it has been YEARS! Anyway, here are a few of highlights:
So as it stands now, I still have 'Paltec' and two of my three hybrids, 'Flying Dragon' and 'Dragonscrest' [the one from ('Kupari' X cengialtii) X Iris tectorum]. The strange one with only a beard (from tectorum as seed parent) never recovered from its bloom-out, so is gone now. Currently, I'm trying to nurse the other two back from nearly losing them to borers - always a problem for me. So, at the moment, 'Paltec' is the only one that is doing fairly well. Hopefully, Greg has some of each of my other two still going.
I'll try to get some sort of summary together of my work in this area and post it to my blog in the near future.
Thanks for your interest.
