Good morning folks:  I didn't plant very many seeds last year and am getting 
the kind of germination I can handle.  I have about 100 PCNI seeds sprouted 
and about 100 TB.  To my surprise, an old container from the year before has 
sprouted about 20 seeds.  I use styro shipping containers and one has poked 
itself through a drainage hole in the side about 2" below the soil line.  I have no 
idea what the parentage of this container is.
I got my first bloom from a 2003 seedling this morning.  It is a bright rich 
blue with yellow beards and 5 buds and about 5 purple based fans in the clump. 
 If it continues to increase and thrive I will probably keep it as my goal 
nowadays is simply pretty iris that can take my Texas abuse.
