Any guesses as to how the seedlings will sort out on the haftiness
gradient?

Linda:  Mostly "haftiness", "spray patterns", or whatever you choose to call
it (not my cup-of-tea either) seem to indicate the presence of one or more
plicata genes.  I do not know if it is possible for a bearded iris to be hafty
without any such genes; but just about any plic X non-plic cross will give
some hideously hafty dogs.  Oddly, luminata genes do not always seem to have
the same effect; and a solid color cross to a "fancy plicata" may get luminata
genes from the cross, and therefore appear to break the rule.  Oddly, I once
crossed Filibuster X Gnu (Ghio luminata-plicata x broken color from (plicata x
broken color)), and got all black cherry bitones with clean hafts.
