<<Most of my research takes place before I  buy a cultivar but
foliage is  not something that is normally discussed.  It comes as an 
unknown.   Irises also sneak into the garden  as gifts and bonuses!  If they  weren't 
on my 'preferred'list, they  rarely make it into a cross.>>
 
Although what I stated above is usually true,  <vbg> I also fall victim to 
impulse  crosses.  A friend had been encouraging me to use Blatant in a cross . 
. .  and I had a plicata seedling that produces abundant pollen! So, I thought 
 I'd see the % of plicata seedlings when I cross to a half plicata iris  
(Blatant).  Normally, I would not have made this cross.
