RE: Re: crosses for SAGE

Hi all,

These are the SA crosses I have completed for this year.  I understand
Neil your comments about difficulties hybridizing.  Most of my good
friends are seniors and are graduating etc. so I have been busy doing
receptions and things.  And.....when I am home it rains and the wind
blows making for not so good crossing weather.  AARGH!!!!!

Here is what I have gotten done (not sure of takes yet on all of them):

Dayglow X Pagan Pink
Romantic Evening X Rock Star
Country Diary x Pagan Pink (has taken)
Sky Hooks x Jungle Shadows
Lullaby of Spring x Dr. No
Polished Manners x Eagle's Landing
I Repeat x Monty's Sweet Blue
Fringe Benefits x Solar Fire
Star's N Stripes x Wedding Dance
Secret Service x Thornbird
Sunnyside Delight x Praetorian Guard
Caribbean Ahoy x Harvest King
Lady Friend x Gladys Austin
Thornbird x Ozone Alert


I still have several planned using SYMPHONY OF LIGHT, THORNBIRD,
CONJURATION, CARIBBEAN AHOY (doesn't produce pollen), and SOLAR FIRE.

Happy irising,

Botanically,

Hello everybody.  Here's the crosses that took and have good sized pods 
on them (except where noted).  I made ton's of crosses and here are the 
few that took. Some of these will hopefully give some results for SAGE.

I'm very happy with most of these, but disappointed in alot that
wouldn't 
take, could not get a pod to stay on Ocean Pacific, tried many times, 
they'd start to develop then fall off.  Couldn't get any pod's on Hook'
em 
horns, or Eagle control, Coral Point, Trumpet Concerto, Firebeard, 
Westpointer, and any SA seedlings not listed at the bottom.  The SA 
seedlings are listed as a # or Monter (weren't complete flowers), they 
have a brief description where they are listed as the pod parent.  Most
all 
these are good sized pods, most are a full inch or two already. TB 
season is about over here, just a few straglers and hists blooming.  
 I added the bc, sa, and re to show a little more what I'm going for
with 
the crosses.  I marked all crosses just like I said I would, hopefully I
can 
keep them labeled. Feel free to let me know what you think of these, 
especially if you've made the cross before.  Will Warner SW Mo zone 6
