I had three seedlings from a "Lancer" x "Canticle for Caroline" cross bloom for the first time this weekend, and I wanted to share some photos.

Seeding #1 had the biggest blooms but only one bloomstalk.

Seeding #2 had two bloomstalks and three buds.

Seedling #3 had pretty colors but the form was kinda jacked, and it was the smallest of the three. Please excuse the leaf rot, it's been an especially damp year so far in California.

I hope so! It was definitely the smallest of the three, so I'm hoping that next year the plant has more oomph, and is able to produce better flowers.

I don't know Arils, but I think the colors on all three seedlings are very nice!
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
