ShawnSteve said:Hi Serjio. Do you think Iris tend to look more like the pod parent, or some more alike from the pollen donor ?
Some people chill pollen & store it cold, to preserve it with dessicant packet (silica in small packet) , to help stay dry, as moisture may ruin it, while cold, helps to preserves it.
I certainly wouldn't mind trying to sow some of those extra seeds ! I'll have to look at photos of some of them, to see what they look like.
What Iris, do you like, for fragrance & what is one of the best pink varieties, in you opinion?

Hi, Shawn! The day I drove the pollen was abnormally hot. Next time I will really go with a container - fridge) The pinkest, I think it's "Star Appeal". It bloomed this year, and I wanted to cross it with another pink, but at that moment the other pink didn't. At the end of may I crossed only two pink "Whisper Her Name" (with a beautiful flower shape) and "Entice". About fragrances can't say anything because he did not remember where is what. The only thing that I remember - the variety "Mistress Of Camelot" - persistent smell of citrus)
