Unfortunately for many of us, time is the biggest obstacle in breeding for specific traits since it takes multiple crosses over many generations as well as a lot of space to bloom them out. But even for many of us who would only like to cross our 2 favorite blooms, Don shows a very good way to save your pollen if you have to wait for a later bloomer.
I hear Keppel has some good videos on iris breeding that I have yet to look into but this one at Stout Gardens in Oklahoma is really good for beginners.
