HYB: aphylla


From: "Sterling Okase" <sterling_o@hotmail.com>

Hi Talk-ers,

I have a question regarding I. aphylla breeding if anyone in Iris Talk 
Land has any experience to share with me.

I did a few crosses with aphylla hybrids (Hager & Craig stuff) with TB 
varieties and got a number of pods forming. Since planting space is 
always a cramped issue for me I am wondering how many seeds to plant.

My question is what kind of percentage of germination should I expect 
from these type of crosses? 75%? 50%? I am assuming because both are 48 
chromosome hybrids that I should expect a majority of the seeds to 
germinate without any special treatment but don't really know. Can 
someone tell me what to expect?
