I have only a few suggestions.

Orange: McKellar's Grove.... it has quite consistent coloring over the entire bloom.  Plus... I'm seeing some very interesting colors emerging.. some even oranges and pinks.

Purple:  You have to look at Indigo Princess.  If you want BIG flowers... she's got them, and very nice ruffles too.

Pink:  I'ld like to encourage you to try Frostico.  She's got fringe and presence without being too baby pink or too salmony.

Subject: [iris] CULT: TB: looking for suggestions

Hi, looking for some ideas for potential TB to work into my hybridizing
program for the following colors.
Suggestions for more recent, reliable pollen/pod (either or both) parents with
good flower size, branching and bud count.
I know most people will have their personal preferneces, but I'm open to any
suggestions.
Selfs: (lighter)Yellow, (deeper) Blue, Black, (lighter) Pink, Purple, (deep)
Orange
also, same beard color to match self.

I realize the list could be very long for most colors, but what I'm looking
for is one or two suggestions per color category from anyone who cares to
suggest.
also, if you know where I can acquire the suggested TB.

thanks so much!
