Fw: SOLAR FIRE X (THORNBIRD x unknown) #2

---

Drat! I did it again. Here's the photo attached.

-----
> Here's #2 of the seedlings to bloom. Definitely has long spoon
> appendages.
> Sort of split the difference between the two parents in style. So far
> every
> bloom has them on every fall. All alike. No mixing of spoons and horns
> on
> the same bloom.. So now I'll just have to watch as all the rest of the
> buds
> open and see if they hold true.

> Otherwise, also damaged by the dogs and more than #1, but less than most
> of
> the other seedlings. Also a strong grower. But the stalks are wildly
> uneven. The two stalks that are blooming well are the tallest stalks I've
> every grown on any iris other than a spuria. About 45". The bloom shown
> is the terminal of one of those stalks. One stalk had the terminal bloom
> down in the fan and a fourth stalk only reached a height of around 30".
> But
> so far the blooms look the same. High bud count and no falling. I think
> they won't fall since they are still standing after the weather last
> night.
> At least not this bloom season. A bit 'redder' color. Just a bit more
> attractive all around than #1.
