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

Not sure if it's really in the same ballpark, but I heard on a show on HGTV this past week that freesia are in the iris family.  I thought I'ld order some freesia from the garden catalogs and see what they have in common...

  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...)
