Christian, I don't have Monty's notes . . . I would be curious to know who
DOES have them!! We corresponded some and I CAN tell you that B was Monty's
second year of making crosses and 37 indicates the 37th cross (not necessarily 1
pod) listed for that year. From here I'm not clear whether he listed as they
bloomed or simply listed the keepers.
Yes it seems these were all from the same cross. I was always amazed at the
irises he got from this cross, one I wouldn't have made because SKY HOOKS
didn't grow at all in my garden! Somewhere I have a list tucked away, one he sent
out to several people, that listed the crosses he made either the year he
died or the year before that.
