Re: re : Iris Seeds on offer

Paul asked for descriptions of the parents of some seeds I offered him.
You'll find these in Tempo Two cat's, but I'll send them if you want.
>Why aren't you interested in them anymore??
Last year I had a fun time pollinating, and most crosses were made on 
the spur of the moment. I think you mentioned you'd like to grow 
something that 'wasn't blue'.  My idea of what I wanted to breed for 
changed dramatically when I saw Keppel's Plic's and Neglecta's and had a 
fit of egomania. I wanted the latest I could obtain from his 'Stable' 
and to arm myself with as much genetic knowledge as possible so I can 
achieve what I want to. In 40 years I'll be nearly 90 and would like a 
few introductions before then. 
Bruce Filardi asked why I didn't just grow these seeds anyway, and I 
have picked out quite a few crosses, with the sole aim of testing my 
ability to predict the colour of the seedlings. I'm sure there will be 
some really nice seedlings,some I'll most likely keep, but not ones I 
want to incorporate in my breeding program. 
I'm very fond of cat's but if I bred from them I'd want to keep every 
kitten they produced. I think culling my iris seedlings will probably 
prove quite difficult too.
