1.) Many of the newer iris (as gorgeous and lavish as they are) lack
vigor and health, and out-crossing it with a vigourous healthy
variety can bring healthier seedlings.
So, my question would be, do you use the newer iris as the pod or pollen parent? I was to understand the vigor usually goes with the pod parent. Anyone have experiences they'd share?
