Even as I watch the last cultivars bloom I see seedpods here is High Master X Treasure Trader between two clumps of High Master I got 14 pods
Thumb of 2016-05-11/arilbred/5d13d5

Counted a total of 42 pods from early crosses and am still pollinating

A couple of crosses with pods
Egyptian X Temporal Anomoly
Terracotta Bay X Popstar
Morning mood X Adventurous
Adventurous X Treasure Trader
Adventurous X Temporal Anomoly
Absolute Treasure X Miah Jane

I believe some of you are on the Facebook group iris auction I am considering auctioning seed there I ask input if I bought seed they would be 5 to a packet for $5 so I'm thinking 10 and start the bid at $5 what y'all think

My plans for pollen dabbing went south this year. Didn't do any crosses at all. Haunted Heart didn't bloom for me Thumbs down and I was so tired after taking photos Thumbs up that I never got around to doing it. Shrug! The bees did a few for me though. Whistling

Oh gee, that's way too much work finding places for all those seedlings! At least for me it is Hilarious! I keep about 8 to 10 crosses and that's enough, I usually get about 100 to 150 seedlings from that.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
