I'm right in the middle of bloom so have new things
popping open with more to come.
The one and only seedling from a cross of I.
pseudacorus X I. versicolor finally bloomed. It's a multi-petal, ugly thing with
3-5 anthers each and good looking pollen. If the blooms have stylearms, I can't
find 'em.
The sole surviving seedling from 'Adrenaline Rush'
(SIB-type JI X SIB) X 92JS10A (JI-type JI X SIB) bloomed. After seeing the
balanced looking kid from line breeding AR, this didn't impress me visually. The
bloom is blockier than the SIB types and leaves show a rib of sorts only at
the bottom 1/3. Pollen looks good though and given its pedigree, it just
might be the start of some interesting lines.
Quite a few of IZZIT's kids (F2s from Sky Wings X
I. setosa canadensis) are showing some surprisingly strong setosa traits. A few
of the seedlings from IZZIT X (I. setosa canadensis x Flight of Butterflies) are
big enough to be planted out to the garden along with seedlings from the
Siberian looking (I. setosa canadensis x Flight of Butterflies) X Setosa type
(Flight of Butterflies x I. setosa canadensis).
Some of the F2s from I. pseudacorus X I. fulva are
blooming at a year old. Most still appear to be pseudacorus but one stands out.
She's pseudacorus in form but has lost all fall markings. She'll be the
one I use for crossing to the LAs this year. The single seedling from (I.
pseudacorus x I. fulva dwarf) X I. fulva is looking good but probably won't
bloom this season.
True to form, 'Ugly Duckling' (I. cristata X MDB)
refused to bloom this year. I'm starting to wonder if this thing needs to be
disturbed in order to bloom. The only 2 times it's bloomed were those years
where it had been moved in the spring.
My very first ever PCI is blooming! I've been
planning a wide cross with this for years...
