Re: HYB: CULT: ?Bride's Halo & yellow amoenas

Thanks all for the feedback on BRIDE'S HALO & amoenas.  I also hear
offlist that BH does ok in Mississippi.

I checked the online database, and was surprised to see that it doesn't
show up in many pedigrees.  Maybe she's a fussy breeder.

PINNACLE (1945) shows up in a lot of yellow amoena pedigrees that I
looked at, so I guess it will go on my list of historics to torture,
assuming I can find some.

As for yellow amoenas, I forgot BEHOLD A LADY, which does quite well
here most years, and got a note that MONET'S LADY (another Blyth intro)
does well for Bill B. in Mississippi.  It's registered as an ML, which
sounds good, but I notice Mid America says it's an early bloomer for
them.  Maybe it's one that waits for appropriate weather conditions in
the spring before it starts growing? (she says hopefully)

Juri, isn't it amazing that any of those irises bred & selected in hot
dry Australia will live as long as they do for you?  Interesting that
WEDDING CANDLES does so well for you - it's no longer in the Schreiner
catalog.  Ditto for MOON JOURNEY.

Anybody grow a lot of Niswonger's pink/yellow/orange amoenas?  The only
ones I have experience with are CORAL BEAUTY, CORAL BEADS, BETTY DUNN,
which isn't doing too well, and CHAMPAGNE ELEGANCE, which after my
fourth attempt, is finally alive, but didn't bloom this year.
