I read with interest this posting regarding young hybridizers from Canada!
I will bring to the WNYIS sale that Kathy mentions another budding young
Canadian hybridizer, Shaun Hollinshead, age 11 years. (actually he is dual
citizen of US and Canada)
He set some interesting seed pods on some SDB iris all on his own this year
and we look forward to harvesting them.
Some of his SDB crosses were:
GINGERBREAD MAN X CHUBBY CHEEKS
KLINGON PRINCESS X PELE
BUTTERSCOTCH CARPET X CHUBBY CHEEKS
He has been very keen on irises ever since he could walk and usually attends
all the iris events with me. Nice to have him share the interest.
