Congratulations!!
So maybe in two
years when the rest of us have relatively few seedlings to admire we can enjoy
yours!!

Ok,
you finally got me to get up and quit procrastinating and to verify my crosses
(something I have been meaning to do and kept putting
off).
So, I
went out into the garden and made sure I had a pod for each of the
entries in my stud-book. (You KNOW you are getting older when you have
iris crosses, rather than dates' phone numbers in your stud-book).
lol
Anyway, here are
the results:
I
made my first cross this year on 3/24/04 and my last on 4/28/04.
I
made 186 crosses, and currently have 109 full pods. That is almost
59%.
8 of
those pods involve DOCTOR NO as either a pollen or pod
parent.
