Will, 

This (4th seedling) really looks like a HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE 
seedling, the magenta horn gives it away. I think the odd coloring is 
probably from the Aril genes hiding in there some where.  These 
seedlings could be 1/4 breds.  

One thing your seedlings are telling us is the both HUBBLE SPACE 
TELESCOPE and THORNBIRD like to pass on their SA genes to the next 
generations.  THORNBIRD has always been the most fertile of my Irises 
and germination has always been the best from its seeds.  

No pregnant fans yet in my seedling patch yet but I found a few 
swollen bases in one of my warm raised beds near the foundation of 
the house.  I really hope to have some of the success that you've had 
this year, 5 years is a long time to stare at non blooming 
seedlings :-0

If we can continue to share observations like you're doing here, SAGE 
will be a success.  Who else has seedlings to share ?  They don't 
have to be potencial Dykes winners.

Happy that it's hot now.
Chris
