Re: HYB: CULT: reselect seedlings & trash

Dear Jan,
Here in windy Kansas we would love to have flowers like that. It sounds like a real jem to me, want to sell some since you do not want to give some away?

  One of my first seedlings has a lovely rich purple flower (like plenty of 
  others on the market), with incredible substance. The blooms lasted for a 
  week each. It grows very tall, has heaps of blooms and increases well.
  On the downside, the horizontal falls are just that - stick straight out 
  like cardboard. You had to stand on tiptoe, to look properly into the 
  flower. The stalks are almost 2" thick at the base, and stand stiff like 
  tree trunks.
  Many, many people admired it, because it was growing right outside my back 
  door, and stood out so clearly. They also admired it's 2 siblings, which 
  they thought were just the same plant, even though much shorter, with less 
  increase, less bloom, and less substance.
  I won't be passing that one on to anyone. I don't wish to get a reputation 
  for growing 5' irises which need to be cut with a chainsaw.
  cheers, Jan clark
