Re: Re: CULT: TB: Pink TB Symposium

You have some interesting crosses.  Let us know how they do.  I had several crosses involving Cloudia, but none of my seedlings looks as though its going to make it through this fiercely hot summer.

  It's funny because I never thought I'd like pink irises so I never
  ordered any until last year.  When they started blooming this year, they
  were the ones I was most drawn to. I made several crosses with pinks and
  an anxious to see the results.  BTW, Pinafore Pink is a wonderful huge
  pink .  I love it.

  Beverly Sills X American Eagle
  Beverly Sills X Holy fire
  Pinafore Pink X Holy Fire
  Cloudia X Wish
  Pinafore Pink X Wish
  Immortality X Wish ( huge pod almost 5 inches long )
  Immortality X Cloudia  ( Immortality had no pollen )
  A huge modern mislabled gold x Cloudia
  Role Model X Cloudia

  You'll also be pleased to know that my planned cross of Thornbird X
  Bayberry Candle took so expect to see some future Dykes medal winners in
  two years ;-)  LOL....  especially for those who hate these two
  cultivars.
