Let's hope not. Assuming the average iris increases by 4 each year, (probably
a generous number) the spring of 1998 would have seen a total of 16 plants
from this seedling--give or take a couple. Not enough to introduce. I've
been told you need about 100 plants the year of introduction. The estimate of
years to introduction when I started was 5-7 years. This included sending
some for testing in other gardens and sending some to conventions. Those
seedlings should be ready about 2000-2002. Of course, if you loose some in
the weeds it complicates the time table.
95=seed planted
96=seedling
97=4 plants
98= 4X4=16 plants
99= 16 X 4= 64 plants
