grannysgarden said:Elsa, some of our most beloved irises came about when a hybridizer was trying for something totally different. I hope you get some great green ones, as I do love the green ones, but like you I am anxious to see what other lovely surprises you will get. Smiling


Bonnie ~ You are so right about that! I have been checking the parentage of almost every iris that I like, and when the parents do not even resemble the child, you know it was just a "happy accident".
