REB:Seedlings in Memphis

Linda,

Walter mentioned 3 of my seedlings bloomed in the 2002 Master Planting in 
Memphis.  All three are TB.

A brief note/disclaimer.  The last several years I've not been able to give 
my seedlings the attention they deserved.  When I moved, 1998, I brought some 
of my favorite seedlings, but in most cases I just brought the strongest from 
each cross.  Many I'd not seen bloom.

9425-1RE-  ((Her Royal Highness x Inferno) X Feedback).  My 
intentions--working toward a good reblooming red.  (all irises used have 
rebloomed somewhere) Standards a reddish purple.  Falls (Feedback) purple 
with reddish purple shoulder and fall rim.  Of the three, this is possibly 
the weakest, but is in a bad spot.  All of my soil was hauled in and isn't 
very good.  

9502- I kept three from this cross.  All bloomed in the fall of 2000.  
9502-1RE is my least favorite, but the strongest rebloomer.  It and 9502-2RE 
(a real beauty & shaded to the blue side) are various shades of banded 
bi-tone purple and both are quite tall.  Good fall stalks . . . not bunched 
or clumpy.  9502-3RE is a bit on the shy side.  Shorter, slow to bloom and 
slow to increase.  It's a silvered purple self with purple beards and also 
beautiful. Maybe a new spot?  (includes Feedback(2) Autumn Encore, Roman 
Lover, Orbiter, & Violet Classic)

9524-1RE was the only seedling kept from Earl of Essex X Hot Streak.  
Standards grayed orange veined beetroot.  Falls white, rimmed beetroot, & 
washed gold below the beard and across the fall.  The gold almost looks like 
pollen (bright yellow daylily type) rubbed across the falls.  Or the gold on 
a bumblebee.  Hard to describe, but it almost glows.  Very tenacious.  Likes 
to bloom.  Relatively short.  

I have several seedlings blooming now, but most are not at the convention.  
My red one has another stalk, 9502-2RE is in bloom, white one has clump.  My 
ugly one from yellow and purple is a greyed red (to the black side  . . . 
sorta) with good branching . . . two stalks but not my cuppa.  Two are 
blooming from the Jessie's Song X Earl of Essex cross.  

9412-1 has a stalk.  ((Laced Cotton x Autumn Encore) X Renown)  
9142-8 (Laced Cotton X Feedback) is putting up a stalk but it will be too 
late.  Also others still in the fans.  Many others.

Betty in BG KY . . . did I miss anything?
