Re: TB: REB: Making a fantasy iris

Thanks John and Neil.

Good to know that WILD WINGS can rebloom.  Does NIGHT GAME ever rebloom
or throw reblooming seedlings?  It is such a healthy plant here & super
reliable bloomer.

I had wondered whether CLARENCE might fit in there somewhere.  I think
he's the only luminata I have tried to grow here, & while he isn't
thrilled about it (rarely blooming), he's reasonably healthy &
increasing.  Maybe SUKY will do better, & her photos look less pastel.

I have a southeastern adapted start of LONELY HEARTS from Bill B, &
managed not to kill it immediately.

Are all luminatas pastels?  Are there any pink ground luminatas?   Seems
like I remember seeing a yellow ground luminata from BB, which I guess
could get to pink after repeated crosses with tttt.

This is a "fantasy" iris, so while I would buy it, I don't expect to be
able to produce it, at least not in this garden, and certainly expect it
would take a few generations. Maybe somebody else will try these
suggested recipes?

What I do have are some seeds from various combinations of IMMORTALITY
and HARVEST OF MEMORIES with all kinds of amoenas & neglectas, dark and
pastel.  Maybe one will be a step along the way.
