clarence - fascinating! now how do we track down the AMAS and I. trojana
children and avoid the other two? think we could get hybridizers to add that
to their catalogs? or are all the wonderful colors from the mix of all four?
> This problem goes back to the use of I. mesopotamica and I. cypriana
>to obtain tetraploidy... Those irises which have AMAS as source of
tetraploidy are less prone to rot, and those that gained tetraploidy from a
heritage of Iris trojana have the least rot problems.
