Re: SPEC: HYB: diploid X tetraploid, tectorum crosses

Tom, I do grow I. tectorum, and got at least one seed this year from a
pod I forgot to tag, but think I used CELEBRATION SONG (it's my usual
fertility tester since it makes lots of good pollen).

I can't remember whether the tectorum I have is white or blue.... or one
of each...  One came from Neil - pretty sure it's blue.  The other
clump, which set the pod, may be white, from seeds from Anner years ago.

I wonder if anybody species group knows about genetic similarities
between tectorum and bearded species.

(avoiding housework, as usual...)
