I thought the name really clever too.

OK -- I'm missing something -- what's *cool* about the name?

It's "Aphylliated" with I. aphylla

And some interesting tidbits about the I. aphylla parent here:

Aphylliated is a play on Affiliated

Well -- I got that part -- but Affiliated is not used in the name. I'm still missing something...............

I really like it too, that blush of bronze in the throat gives it such richness. It is said to grow 18" tall- I like that too.

Any clues as to what to expect growth wise? It looks for all the world like a SDB, I'm assuming culture is the same?

I only grow one SPX....Paltec.....and was told by the vendor it would 'grow with the bearded'. I do have it in a bed with slightly more 'acid" soil (it's in with the SIB's ,JI's, & LA's), but, it seems to do as well as the NOID bearded that are planted there

Oh, I forgot the prefix with Paltec- I've got that one! I have it in a bed with several other bearded and it looks great. Just planted it this year, but it has put on lots of increases.

Oh -- that explains it -- I thought they were talking about the red Iris.

Sheesh.

Thanks, Arlyn.

It is funny, but when we were trying Aphilated, it only had 3 buds for us. I am not sure why. It does beautifully other places. I have a seedling with aphylla (one of John;s X a Zurbrigg TB). Lloyd very kindly sent me the pollen. I have not figured out where to go from there.

Lucy, how long does pollen last when sent? Are those little glassine bags used for storing pollen?
