<<2006 Hyrbidizing records.
Crosses=125
Takes=58
Seed=2794+ (one late pod left to harvest)
Takes= 46% (approx.) Close to normal
Average seed per cross= 48 = definitely higher than recent years. >>
Linda asked for a breakdown on the totals. Unfortunately, I switched from
average seed per cross to average seed per pod. But the breakdown should
still be relevant.
1) 606 seed_ Wilkerson x Wilkerson = 46.6
2) 1324 seed_Wilkerson x Other = 41.4
3) 533 seed_ Other x Wilkerson =35.5
4) 331 seed_ Other x Other =36.7
Combined seedlings and introductions in the Wilkerson category. Didn't
think the irises knew the difference! <vbg> You may note that there is a high
percentage of Wilkerson x Other this year. This is due to a mass infusion of
other material. Some for rebloom genes and some for form. Same is true in
Other x Wilkerson.
Group 3 had three low count pods that reduced the average.
These are seed per pod, not per cross!
As always, I'm willing to share other information upon request.

If you don't cross them, you'll won't have to plant them! Bah! Humbug!! Hot
summer!
