You will only know this if you are the selecting hybridizer. As the hybridizer, I might choose to introduce the only brown seedling out of a yellow cross. For example . . . I only have one bronzie copper seedling from 'Sunblaze' X 'Summer Radiance.' If I chose to introduce it, it would "appear" that the cross produced all bronzie-copper things when all were bright yellow/gold except the one. Same with other crosses.

I think the big wish part of my dream is the visuals. I see a tree that has thumbnails of all the ancestors and another of all the progeny. My mind can relate to the images whereas if I have to read each description the impact is not as great. Easily i could determine if a parent always produced yellows or that its progeny could be very diverse. These are genetics I can wrap my mind around. I have found programs that can do most of what I want but none yet that can do all of what I would like.

I have two different wish lists:
1) One is for my summer shopping. For this one, all I wish for is to be 
able to look up pedigrees somewhere on new introductions (the ones not
included in eregister) to try to evaluate them for possible survival
here, plus suitability for including in my breeding program.  If I can
find something I think will work, I usually try to buy one or two new
intros each year.  Trying to reward breeders for using irises that will
live here ;-)

No source for that info for some breeders other than calling/emailing
them, and even that doesn't work for Schreiners.  So I try to stay on
good terms with the Registrar(s) ;-)  Maybe AIS registrar can charge
another fee for access to the current registrations before end of
ordering season.

2) The other is for figuring out what to do next, evaluating possible
traits in the background of stuff I already have.  Your wish program
would be perfect for that, Bob.
