Re: First flounced seedling


Chris, the only times I've had a bloom develop way down in the fan is when frost has bitten the developing stalk, leaving one or two buds on the stalk--with little or no stalk--to survive.  Sometimes those blooms have been amazingly fertile--abundant pollen, enormous pods.  I've never been reluctant to use them.
 
Your seedling is a dandy first.  Is the anomalous stalk a result of SA inbreeding or is it frost?  But how could one tell anyway?
 
By the way, on Iris-talk there is a question from an Anne-Lisa in Quebec on the VT border you may be able to address much better than I.
