I intended to convey that the record indicated to me that it was probably a
pretty long shot, not that the plant in question has no attractive
characteristics, nor that anyone who wants to take a whack at hybridizing
with it should not follow their fondest yearnings.
I had been speaking of 'I.germanica' as a pod parent. Pollen parent may be
another issue altogether. Pollen crosses with I. korolkowii have been
recorded (BELLORIO [Mohr-Mitchell, 1924]; Carmelo [Mohr, 1921]). See Garden
Irises, p.524. I.korolkowii is a Regelia.
