When I collected the last seed pod, over the past weekend, I put my list of 
crosses on Excel with a column for # of seed.  Then I used Auto-Sum.  Just 
another invention that's makes life a little more simple.  (Love it!) Finally 
learning enough about Excel/Quatro, depending on where I am, to create my own 
searchable data base for the irises and seedlings I have.  Fun!  Fun!  Fun!

Seedling . . . Let's see now . . . if I space them 8 inches apart each way, 
with a path between beds of rows . . . it's going to cost me a small fortune 
in soaker hoses (the only way to go) and landscape fabric.  But it will be 
well worth it.  Looks like it's going to be one bed of 6 rows and one bed of 
4 rows.  Takes an even number of rows with the soaker hoses.  

Soaker hoses are saving my seedlings and other plants, in our 2nd year of 
sever drought.

I did notice that I have too many purple plicata seeds. I can judge these 
seedlings for branching, bud count, form, plant vigor, class, and rebloom, 
but when it comes to color and pattern I will have to have the help of other 
judges.  I don't like most purple plicatas. <g> Anyone still grow CRACKEN?  
No, I'm not looking for it, but that is the type I like.
