Re: some more questions

Hi Sergey,

SHAPE SHIFTER was registered last season. With luck, we might see some of
her first kids bloom this coming year and they'll certainly be large enough
to bloom in 2004. As fertile as she is, it's unlikely (unless her seedlings
are as fertile as she is) that they can be developed as a self sustaining
group so are simply referred to as a species hybrid.

With the Ensiberians, nearly all of the F1s were fertile and all came from
crosses of JI pod parent and Siberian pollen parent (regardless of what they
wound up looking like). They can easily develop into a separate class of
irises. "Ensiberian" reflects the fact that Mom was the JI.

The first of the F3 Siberian types bloomed last year and if what we saw was
typical, visual differences between the hybrids and the parental species are
becoming more pronounced as the generations advance.

The first crosses between the 2 types should bloom next season or the
following year. What they'll look like is anyone's guess.

SHAPE SHIFTER. When did you registered it - last year?
>     As to ALLY OOPS, I read the following in R&I brochure: "Parentage
unknown - presumed siberian x pseudacorus". Can we say something about the
parentage for sure now?
>     Christy uses sign JS for results of JA x SIB crosses. But among her
own that kind of cultivars there was one from SIB x JA cross. Should we mark
it also JS or on the contrary - SJ? Do you think the results of both kinds
of crosses could be combine into one class in the future? If so, what name,
do you think is better - ensibs or sibsatas? It also concerns the results of
many other interspecies crosses (say, sibcolors or versibs; pseudatas or
encoruses etc.). How many cultivars should we obtain to form a new class or
maybe it's a wrong question?
