Thanks for writing from France. Yes, I would expect your first
generation plants from the two space agers would not be finished.
Since you used a white with THORNBIRD as did the person who made the
original post, I would image you got the not so colorful browns,
tans, and creams. Use some pollen from darker colored irises on the
momma and the children and the blah colors will go away.
Can you describe the colors of the THORNBIRD X MESMERIZER cross?
