Heh, I'm sure I've got photos somewhere, but they're downright
uninteresting, just siblings from a single TB pod that was my first
attempt at hybridizing, back when I had nothing but garden-center
irises. They're various shades of dirty yellow and orange, and haven't
flowered in several years because I rarely weed them. I only recently
tried hybridizing again, and will clear them out when some of my new
spec-x bloom (though I've been neglecting those as well). I don't
normally get much seed at all, since I find it far too tempting to try
to wide-cross everything.
