That soft blue siberian is nice Lilli,--I don't have any light blues at all.
Marty Scafer and Jan Sachs (jpwgarden.com) have the most amazing siberians that I have ever seen.What they have achieved with colour blends is just out of this world.Tempo Two brought in some of their seeds, grew them on but then discontinued siberians a few years ago.
I managed to buy 4 or 5 which was all they had.My other stock plants came from a commercial flower grower in Tasmania 3 years ago but were mostly all the older colours. Wanting to breed some of the newer colours, I wrote to Marty and he sent me seeds which will flower next year.In the meantime, I contacted JS from the Victorian Iris Society and she generously sent me seeds and that lot are flowering this year.So that is where I'm up to.
Those in the US are really spoiled for choice with a hybridizer like Marty Schafer--go buy a dozen or two.
This seedling was showing yellow in the bud, I was over the moon thinking I had a self yellow in my seedlings.Took two days to open, I wanted to peel back the petals to look and finally this is the result.
and I have put its pollen onto this seedling
