Re: AB: HYB: seedlings from Mueller crosses

Linda,
 
I am also growing some Mueller seeds which I have obtained just this year. (They are not AB's - mostly TB's).  I found your post fascinating and am glad you posted it.
 
Happy Holidays!

Subject: [iris-talk] AB: HYB: seedlings from Mueller crosses

Sure enough, after plotting out pedigrees for the crosses where I had
enough info to do it, I discovered that one of them (BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE)
goes back to Elmohr twice on the momma's side (ELMOHR->MOHR
VELVET->MEXICAN VELVET->BAMBOO CURTAIN -> BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE and ELMOHR
-> NOMOHR ->HAPPY HOLIDAY -> COPPER CAPERS-> BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE).  So
maybe the only surviving seedlings here from that particular cross were
the ones with little aril toadstool rhizomes.

The other cross involved PRETTY LADY and TOMORROW'S CHILD. I didn't see
anything arilbred in the family tree of either of them, but who knows
what's in some of the dead ends.

Probably nobody but Barb Johnson is interested in this, but after going
to all that work I wanted to tell SOMEBODY. <G>
