Re: HYB: adaptability/microhabitat

I hope so!  But I don't have enough experience with seedlings to know
whether using healthy parents gives a higher probability of healthy
babies with the other traits we might want or not.  Seems like it
should, but for all I know, all the healthy growth genes are right next
to the <dog seedling> genes!

In addition to RE, there is NIGHT GAME.  And I have 26 more Keppel,
Blyth, Ghio intros under torture that will have their first bloom season
soon, some from you, but also a bunch more.  Always hoping to find more.

I don't know if RE and NG are <ditch> iris (as was described here a few
years ago - ones that would survive if thrown out the window of a
rapidly moving car), like some you see around your area.  But they are
tougher than many.

<Since ROMANTIC EVENING shows already, in its few short but difficult
years in our climates a similar toughness, would one be farther ahead to
rely on it and its progeny?  Neil Mogensen  z 7 western NC>
