Sussgirl: did you post a picture? I can't see it. Denise, you have provided a very detailed description but what is the name of this hybrid?

Question about seedlings from cross pollinating bearded iris...

I have been raising hybrid iris from seed since I was a wee tad... The offspring are usually healthy plants, though they will often have specific faults, which a breeder wants to cull. Also we run out of space if we keep the ones which are 'nice' but not an improvement on existing cultivars. That's the source of the 1 in 5000 type of odds that you will read about. If you are just out to have fun I think you will find at least 1 or 2 keepers from each pod of iris seeds that you grow. The golden rule is to use the best parents you have available as it is rare to get progeny which are superior to their parents. Some fun things to try - self an Iris (cross with same) - this form of extreme in-breeding will uncover good and bad recessive traits - true freaks like flatties etc. Cross two similar Iris from the same hybridizer - often a single breeders lines are related and the results of line crossing are usually better than "wide" crosses of unrelated cv.
