Got "The Siberian Iris" yesterday, I must say it is terrific. The hybridizing
articles by Jean Marc Boileau, Jeff Dunlap,Bill Douherty and Cynthia Kermode
were great. The best was " Do you want to Hybridize Siberian Irises" by Marty
Schafer. It has spured me on to the point I was up at 5:30 and out
hybridizing this morning. Armed with great information and a new method,
tooth picks in one pocket, tweezers in my back pocket and tags in the other.
I did six crosses ( all that were available, as bloom is just starting) I do
have a question, could someone explain signals vs blazes? I'm pretty sure I
got it right, but then again I've been know to think that before and not
been. I have a seedling that is dark cranberry coloed with at least half the
falls covered with white, that would be the blaze? It has given me a new
direction. That being hybridizing for a bloom that is white with a rim of
color at the edge.....Don
