Re: Re: HYB: older irises

I guess not knowing better is a great way to come up with interesting or
different seedlings.  My list of last summers crosses would probably
make the experienced hybridizers laugh or possibly cry but I'm bound to
come up with something different.....I hope :-)

All of my planned crosses went out the window last spring when we were
hit with a snow storm.  All crosses were spontaneous crosses  with what
ever decided to bloom.  THORNBIRD was used on just about anything
because I wanted to make some SA crosses , also made many yellow x blue
and yellow x purple crosses.  Now I'm having visions of a sea of mud in
the seedling patch but this is obviously better than no seedlings at
all.

It's about time to get these babies into the fridge
