Re: [SpaceAgeRobin] more seedlings - Thornbird

Michael, Very interesting observations on Thornbirds color fading. I've noticed that and how it looks different each year.  Finally this spring when we had overly cool temps I could see the greenish (ecru) coloring.  Later flowers, when it had warmed up, looked like it usually does here.   It's interesting how the color differs on the mesmerizer/thornbird seedling.  I wonder where the pink comes from?  Obviously some of the colors in Thornbird arn't colorfast.    
I'm very interested in smaller sized space age flowers and have made some crosses onto tet. mtb's and IB's.  I'm pretty hopefull of some big pods on Lapwing X hookem horns, also Quinalt X hookem horns.  I tried alot more crosses on these little iris, but they seemed to like the Hookem horns pollen the best. Hookem also blooms early hear, which helps. I know what you mean about out of proportion flowers on Medians.  Darts had unusually large flowers for an IB, while I like alot of things about it, proportion was odd.  BTW, great photos you've been posting.  Cya. Will W.
