Totally_Amazing said: I like all of those pink seedlings too . It can't be easy choosing which ones to keep.
They do the choosing for me, more often than not. Both 15T-24c and 16T-24a have many nice traits, but also a little nit or two that makes me reluctant to introduce them. They have produced interesting seedlings of their own, though.
For example, I crossed 15T-24c to Smoking Aces (another Blyth iris I really like that doesn't perform well here), hoping to get something similar to Smoking Aces that grows well. Got that, plus a couple of nice surprises.
19T-18a, the Smoking Aces doppelganger except it has a better beard
19T-18b, just about the prettiest iris I've ever seen in person
19T-18d, interesting tannish dark top
19T-18e, browner version of 18d
and then 19T-18f, just for the shear how the heck do you get this from those two parents?
