<<Do you find the pollen difficult or easy to work  with?>>
 
In 2004 I tried to remake the Love Lines X Clarence cross (both ways) with  
no success.  Very little took in 2004.  
 
In 2005 I made the cross both ways with Last Laugh with no takes.  I,  also, 
put Clarence pollen on City Light, 1620-02 (Chinese New Year X Theme  Master) 
& Blue Jay Way.  The one with BJW took.  One seedling from  the BJW X Clarence 
cross was showing color at the start of the freeze.   Plant looks bad.  
 
In 2006 I put Clarence pollen on Another Bridge & Tara's Choice.   The TC 
cross took.  The crosses were made early in the season and back to  back.  ( 6 & 
7)  
 

Records for the earlier year are packed away.  
 
Even irises that are routinely pollen barren will occasionally produce  
pollen.  Weather will also effect pollen quality.
