Thanks for the information, Chuck. I too have
wondered about the outcome of crossing two whites to get only blue-violet in the
offspring. I also remember crossing a light "purple" seedling with a
white and getting yellows in the offspring - really threw me for a
loop since I was used to the color genetics of lilies.
I still don't understand the genetics of
color in siberian irises.

Ghost
Caesar's Ghost Jean Wit Reg 1972 Diploid, 40"M S milk white
(palest blue-white); F same. Faintly veined all over, some brown markings
on haft. Unknown parentage
When crossed with the clean whites, such
as Snow Queen, produces all offspring as blue-violet, as detailed in
Vaughn's article. thus the genetic interest.
