Great idea.  It will be at least a month before I have anything in bloom. But I'm willing to send  MDB and SDB pollen south to those wanting it for TBs.    I  will save and send upon request, rather then try to keep a library.  too many cultivars here  to do that.

Subject: [iris] Pollen Exchange

Dear Iris Hortnet friends: I do like this forum even though it is not used much. I have initiated a new program called the Pollen Exchange. For more info check out Pollen exchange in the general index of the Iris Encyclopedia or click on   http://wiki.irises.org/bin/view/Main/InfoPollenExchange . 

My bloom season has barely begun for my MDBs, so I have collected pollen from only a couple of Iris so far, but this exchange I hope will create a number of opportunities for people to try crosses that would be difficult without saving their own pollen in some cases for more than a year. 

Since the SDBs were created by Paul Cook and Geddes Douglas exchanging pollen through the mail I can point to that notable success. I believe results maybe iffy but the amount invested is very low compared to buying and growing many plants. The exchange will be advertised in the upcoming AIS e-news letter, News & Notes, and The Dwarf Iris society's new upcoming E-Newsletter 'Small Talk'. The Dwarf Society's Small Talk will be free to anyone who sends me or Lyn Wilson their e-mail address. I hope anyone interested in Dwarf Irises will subscribe.
