ARUBA1334 said: One of the 1st projects I started with was trying to add the Ghio form to Blues at that time in 2013 very few new Blues were being introduced and we still have that problem today not much has been done with them and I have found out why.. after what seems like thousands of seedlings blooming it is hard to get anything different in this color class one of the 1st crosses I made with that goal in mind was 2 of Barrys plants Ride The Waves and Just Witchery one for the color and the other for the form .. for those of us who like to hybridize you know its pretty rare to get what you were looking for Colorwise crossing to modern day iris together will not lead to the colors you want normally so was absolutely thrilled when this bloomed.. I should have named it Beginners Luck because I can't seem to make much more progress yet .. It is at Schreiners but once again they want more stock of it so hopefully 2025
