Hi Betty,
I will respond to your suggestion.  Now that I am retired, how do you mark
you crosses.  I tried a couple of years ago and the rain washed my marking
tags clean.  Then I lost me record book.

Hi All,

Snow and ice still glisten across the fields, but tomorrow is Groundhog Day!
Can spring be far behind?  Only 2 1/2 months until the little ones start
blooming in my garden!

It's great fun to see your own seedlings bloom, addictive even!  Even if
they
look exactly like something you've seen before, they are genetically
different!  A seedling is uniquely your own.  Why not create an 'Edith
Wolford' (whatever) that blooms and grows well in your garden?  Or an 'Edith
Wolford' that reblooms during early September in KY?  I'd buy that one for
sure!

Irises are some of the easiest plants to pollinate/cross.  Why not joint the
fun?

This is a good time for new hybridizers to ask questions, any question.
Someone on here should be able to give an answer, or maybe several answers.
We can never have enough hybridizers.  Think of the many iris mysteries yet
to
be solved!

Now is the time to prepare for spring!
