True, two more seeds have sprouted in that pot. But it now is also
true that two seeds in a pot of a KOKO KNOLL cross had also
sprouted as of yesterday. So the seeds are probably getting ready
to sprout anyway and the warmer temps may not have caused them
to go ahead and come up. These KK crosses are the results of the
first hand pollinated crosses I've ever attempted. If our weather
patterns continue as they are, I couldn't have chosen a worse time
try.

Texas Zone 7 - who discovered another (and MUCH younger fellow)
relative who has been buying irises from Schreiners, tagging them,
etc. Wants to come when mine are in bloom, was interested in the
seeds coming up. Had some doubt about trying it what with the 3
little wild ones hanging on his pants leg, but I was encouraging
anyway. Shoot, they might have better luck anyway, being at eye
level and all with the blooms :).
