Re: HYB:CULT: speaking of fan count

Yes, Christian -- on some, but not others, and more in some years than in others. This past year, virtually the only increases by fall were on SDB seedlings, and most of those involved one particular cultivar. In some years, on the other hand, some of the TB seedlings looked like sows with piglets by fall. -- Griff

Subject: [iris] HYB:CULT: speaking of fan count


When I was lining out my second batch of seedlings Wednesday, I discovered another baby with an increase. I got all excited and was going to try to take pics of this one also but when I looked in the book I saw that it was six month's old. I figgered that wasn't as noteworthy. Still, the overall seedling isn't all that big maybe six leaves.

Neither one is listed in the checklist as rebloomer, so is this just aggressive growth? Maybe herein lies the value of germinating in the fall....

Do y'all see increases by fall on the seedlings you line out in the spring?
