That's an interesting goal, I'm sure you will eventually end up where you want to be. Those brown beards are interesting. I had a seedling from a bee pod open this year, and Yuk! It most have been a cross between an historic and a more modern one. It's headed for the compost pile. I made 17 crosses this summer, and I see at least a couple of pods starting. I had planned on several other crosses over the winter, but of course some of the iris I needed to use didn't bloom this year. Some didn't have pollin. I have about a doz. new starts from some seeds that Brad sent me last fall. It will be fun to watch them develop. They sure look nice already. Of course I'm just the "foster father".
