Re: Species iris

Rick,

I do have the order form for this batch of seed.  I ordered pseudacorus  seed
from a "cream" colored parent.  On rethinking this I would have to have seed
from one pod  or pods from one plant to have a chance for the offspring to be
similar.   In collecting seed for SIGNA I would think you would keep the lots
to pods from the same plant or group of very stable plants.  I think I would
do that.  I have little experience with collecting seed or the rules for
collecting and submitting seed.

This iris is such a pretty one I have been dazzled by my own success.

a drop under the trees and the rain collection system desperate.  All of the
gloom and none of the water.
