Re: [SpaceAgeRobin] HYB:SA appendages


Neil, it is very interesting!
I can share my observations.
Huge Oregon grown rhizomes of DON'T TOUCH, ANNOUNCEMENT and DETROIT CITY was planted in August 2003 on one bed. Though last winter was mild enough we
had harsh freezes early in May and a lot of iris was frozen.
ANNOUNCEMENT was frozen too and has produced very short stalk with deformed flower but this flower was with flounces! DON'T TOUCH and DETROIT CITY was not frozen at all have produced tall show stalks but their flowers were without horns.
It sounds there are different traits: the frost hardiness and the ability to produce appendages. And they aren't close related.
