I'd like to share what VICTORIA FALLS has brought to my line of tall bearded
"spot" seedlings.  My "COLUMBIA SPRINGS "96" : (EDITH WOLFORD X VICTORIA
FALLS) was crossed with Cayeux "DELTAPLANE". I was pleasantly surprised with
numerous reselects  - with the white spot and many with a light blue spot
with dark blue boarders.  I took one picture of seedling "98-189a"
http://www.televar.com/~irisbuff/98189a.htm . The colors and substance in
this seedling are so strong that I can't resist spreading it's pollen around
to see where it might take me, and then again it might not take me anywhere.
Just having fun in my backyard!
