Was the original pallida used in PALTEC a diploid? If so, maybe it's
easier to get this cross today, using the modern tetraploids.
Anner, I loved your comment about tectorum being an "idiot's delight" to
germinate. I'm trying it for the first time just now when I received a
package of Iris tectorum alba seeds. It will be interesting to see if they
are truly white, or lavendar like Dr. Z's.
For a brief moment I thought IDIOT'S DELIGHT would be a cute name for an
iris. but then I realized it's actually an insult to the person that likes
that iris! I couldn't imagine a Dyke's winner being called that. <g!>
