Re: SAGE CROSSES

Patrick,

What a great selection of crosses you've made here.  I'm already 
anxious to see the seedlings, should be some real keepers in there.

As for MESMERIZER, from what I've heard, just about any other white 
SA seems to get the nod before it. I'm guessing that this is a great 
West coast Iris and it gets progressively worse as it heads East.  I 
like EAGLE'S LANDING and HOLY FIRE myself but I'm also now growing 
ALABASTER UNICORN but don't know if it will bloom this year.

On another note, I made my first cross this morning, BANDED ROGUE x 
DOCTOR NO (frozen pollen from Bill B).  Did I say thanks for the 
pollen yet Bill ?  Can't remember if I did or not.

Chris

when it is well established. Other times, however, the appendages 
vary.  See photo attached of the stalk that bloomed this spring for 
me.  It is from a one year clump.  Incidentally, I had a one year 
stalk of Mesmerizer that produced the same appendages as in the 
picture.  I took it to the show and it drove the judges nuts!!!  <eg>
