Hello everyone.
Thought I would let everyone know that our mutated seedling TB with the
bloom split down the middle, one side yellow and white the other side peach
and white, is blooming again. The mutation seems to be stable, the bloom
is the same as last year. There had been quite a bit of discussion last
year amongst botanists and hybridizers as to whether or not the mutation
would repeat, it did! Most believed that it would be like Good 'N' Plenty.
Good 'N' Plenty did the same thing about 50 years ago but the increases
bloomed one color, depending on what side of the mother rhizome they came
from. Our seedling has carried the mutation through, to the confusion of
many. Most botanists agree that it is genetically impossible. I sent a
picture to the cyber cork board and its also in the past and future picture
section at our website titled: An unbelievable seedling.
http://www.suttoniris.com I would like to know what people think of the
iris and if anybody has any ideas as to why it did this. The flower is
very fertile both ways, last year I had three pods on one stalk. Should be
interesting to see what its' children do.
