{Disarmed} RE: [SpaceAgeRobin] Re: HYB: TB: Very rare horns


No, Chris, it was down here that one of the clumps suddenly sprouted horns.  There were none at the cabin.  I have two clumps up there and five down here all in the same bed with the same soil, climate and care.  Really, I like this iris best without the thick, heavy horns that detracted from its airy lightness.  It is very pod fertile, and I have bloomed seedlings from it by Pink Champagne and by one of its own pink siblings.  None were interesting at all, and all are gone.  I now have seeds from it by Fogbound.  If nothing comes of those, I would not consider it for a parent.

Francelle,

Congrats on your first registration, I think Flight of Fairies is an
amazing name for a Space Ager. So, you say that FOF decided to produce
horns in a colder zone at the mountain cabin but never at your house
which is zone 9 ? Now that's interesting, it blows the hotter the
better for appendage production theory out of the water. Soil
composition must play a major role in this.

I crossed Immortality x Cloudia and got almost no horns at all so I
wouldn't suggest using Cloudia for SA breeding. The cross yielded an
equal amount of yellows, whites and purples, no pinks and of course, no
rebloom ;-(

Chris
