LOL - no, it stopped being iris-talk about 20 yrs ago ;-) It's now just iris@hort.net. I tried to send my note to iris-talk@yahoo. ;-)
These 2nd years were seed pods in 2013, in the fridge over 2013-2104, a few sprouts lined out, then pots left outdoors until ?Dec or ? 2014/15, when I brought them indoors and put them under lights.
None of the pots that have been outdoors since Feb 2014 have any sprouts showing yet. I'm not expecting many, but am surprised there are none. 50 pots or so. The irises out in the field are growing like mad.
Are any of yours up yet? I'm afraid this weirder than usual winter may have had an effect, but too soon to tell.

Linda,  my seed were not in the frig.  These seed were out all winter and didn't sprout during the spring.  No more than 2 per pot sprouted and many  pots had none.


Isn't this iris talk?

Someone (Betty, I think) asked about 2nd yr sprouts coming up.
Somewhere on
FB.  Rather than try to find it, I thought I'd just answer
here.

There are
a <lot> of seedlings up from a couple of 2013 pods.  These
were in the fridge
for the first cycle, then unsprouted seeds outdoors
in spring 2014, back on
the sunporch this winter.

The two crosses that have put up a lot of seedlngs
this second year are

heavily ruffled cream:(Lemon Ripple x (Immortality x
Kiwi Cheesecake)) X
pink:(Doctor Alan x Kiwi Cheesecake)

and
near white
pale plic: (("cloud shadows": (Imm x CSong) x (Imm x Kiwi
Cheesecake)) ) X
(Imm x Kiwi Cheesecake)

Linda Mann
been so long since I posted, I tried to
send this to
iris-talk.
