Re: Crossing tectorum X Diploid

Hello Al,
I'd have to agree with Lynn Markham's assessment
related by Ellen Gallagher. Ellen wrote:

Hi Al,
'Understated' is a Tet. not a Diploid. The following
is from Lynn Markham: >>> The aphyllas are all tets,
and ditto their hybrids with TBs.  Frankly I think the
chances for a viable cross with tectorum are slim to
none, even with a dip, though!  But good luck to him!

From my experiences, your chances of getting viable
seeds from any crossings of bearded and tectorum are
slim. But please don't let that stop you from trying.
Here are two reasons why you should try anyway (see
attached photo). And by the way, I'm NOT SO SURE that
my hybrid ('Flying Dragon') ISN'T from a tetraploid
bearded iris crossed with Iris tectorum, anyway.
And if those two aren't reason enough to try, I'll
tell you I've got two more probable hybrid seedlings
that are one year old. So although the chances are
slim... that shouldn't stop a determined hybridizer.
Like Lynn said, "good luck to you".
Tom
