Re: CULT: survival in the 'vale'

That sounds encouraging!  After all these years killing irises, I really
don't mourn the losses any more, tho I do get frustrated when a seedling
blooms & looks like a keeper until the summer crud hits.

<The seedling lots from which I had such drastic losses last summer have
not
                   shown a single additional loss.  It looks as though
the susceptible ones were
                   sorted out, leaving the tougher, more adaptible to
our climate remaining.
                   They are growing at great pace now with lots of
increase beginning to show
                   up.
The few crosses that survived to maturity last summer have had rather
low
                   germination rates, but are lusty growers--still in
their pots. ..Neil>
