Re: HYB: Helen Collingwood descendants

There are a few already in the online database:
BLONDIE'S PRIDE (Hite, R. `61) TB, 36", ML, W4Y
BOBBIE LODER (Riggs, R. `69) 1-K-12 TB, 34", M-L, W4Y
BREAD AND WINE (C. Smith, R. 1970). Sdlg. 68-6. TB, 32" (81 cm), EM.
DZVINKA (Oleg Amekhin, R. 1996). Sdlg. SNK-1. TB, 36" (91 cm), M.
HILARY (C & K Smith, R. '60). 59-1. TB, 36", E-M-L,, W4V.
KIMMIE LYNNE (Friedline, R. `65). 353 TB, 30", M,, Y4V.
LONDON CRY (Kelway, R. `63). 623 TB, 32", M, B4V.
PARADOX (C & K Smith, R. `60). 59-9. TB, 42", E-M-L, Y3.
POST SCRIPT (Tompkins, R. `65). TB, 40", MVL,, W4O.
TRUDY (C. Tompkins, R '64) TB, 40", M-L,, W4O.
VICTORIAN ERA (C. Smith, R. 1971). Sdlg. 64-19. TB, 31" (79 cm), E-L.

The only two of these I've heard of are TRUDY and POSTSCRIPT.  I have
POSTSCRIPT - very lovely and reliable here so far, but not fertile in
the few crosses I've tried.

Maybe this winter, maybe January?, when things are slower, we can talk
Mike Lowe into searching the unedited scanned texts of the pre-60s
checklits to get some more names.  We might be able to find a few more
of the older ones in The World of Iris.  Seems like Neil mentioned a few
here when we talked about this last time.

I have a few bee pod seedlings from HC - one bloomed last year, kinda
cute. Two pods from HC X TEAMWORK this year.

<Linda - When you discover the registered descendents of HC please pass
the
  names on to me as this is one tough iris that I would never be
without.            Barbara Null Tyler, TX>
