Re: Re: [SpaceAgeRobin] more seedlings - Thornbird

Hello Mike, Very nice, I like that little guy. Nice long horns on those.
If you have any more bloom, I'd like to see them.
Thanks 
Will Warner

10-12 inches high, with blooms about twice my thumb size. The ones in 
the back are around 8-10 inches at best. There might be one more 
coming out this year, but i'm not holding my breath.

> 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.

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.
