Re: Prairie Iris Article

 

Hello El,
Did you come up with a list of what will cross with it?  I have always wanted to try crossing it with I. missouriensis which it kind of resembles.  In truth I think it is worth trying to cross it with anything really.  I does set seed quite easily and if you wanted to make sure of a wide cross you would have to protect the cross. 
I think BJâs poem has a lot of truth in it for the prairies â cold tonight.

Morning Jim and all.
 
It took me a few minutes to recall which magazine article you're talking about.  I do now remember reading that about lactea in your article.  You could always get the editor to post one of those corrections.
 
Interesting that you mentioned lactea though, as just yesterday I was trying to figure out what crosses with it.  I got an OP seed pod off mine this past fall, but I'm pretty sure there was only 1 bloom stalk this year.  Perhaps it crossed with itself.

To all of you who may have read my article I hope you can forgive me for mistakenly putting Iris lactea in the Spuria group.  I misread a description of this Iris which lead to such a result.  I was hoping someone would take some editing license with the article.
