Newbie from Germany

Hello everyone,
I am an iris lover from South West Germany and I am glad to be allowed to join your group. In my garden I grow mostly bearded irises (named varieties and a few seedlings) but also a few species and several Siberian irises. Since I saw pictures of Siberian irises of German hybridizer Mr. Tamberg I am hooked (unfortunately he lives about 800 kilometers away from me so I am not sure if I will ever be able to visit his garden during bloom time). Three years ago I made my first Siberian iris crosses (the parents are some older varieties like Caesars brother) and I hope to see some seedling blooms this June. I had some seedling blooms last year but nothing worth showing (the seedlings strongly resembled their parents). Last year I made more crosses. For example I crossed my favorite Sib Here be Dragons with So van Gogh and received about 30 seeds. It will be very exciting to know what will come out of this cross.
I hope to learn more about hybridizing Siberian irises and look forward to your reports and pictures.
Greetings from Germany
Anja
