Hi Don,
Sounds like you have that hybridizing fever. Feels great doesn't it. I
think you have a great sounding seedling and can see why you would want
to head in that direction. Is there any chance of having a look at this
seedling?  I have been doing a lot of hybridizing with asiatic lilies,
but I reallly think I will concentrate a little more on the siberian
irises, although I will probably still do a little more hybridizing with
the martagon lilies which can be blooming with the siberians and add a
lot to "the picture". Have a great season. Siberians in about 3 days.
