Hi Anja!
This is a very nice group, and glad you have joined! Looking forward
to seeing your seedling pictures. I remember you from the Garden Web
iris forum.

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.
