I understand that irises are "perfect flowers" in the terms they have both male and female parts, but while looking through a lot of information lately, I have been coming across some descriptions that say a particular hybrid is "fertile both ways". That got me wondering...which cv's are mostly male or mostly female, in the terms they are fertile only ONE way, as pollen parents or as pod parents?
The next question would be, Is this something we want to really breed? Shouldn't we want to hybridize flowers that are fertile both ways?
