Two years ago, I made two crosses involving Dinner Talk. Wish I had done more. The first six seedlings to bloom were:

I thought 'wow, you can't bloom an ugly iris out of Dinner Talk' Then these two bloomed:

Oops, you can get an ugly seedling out of Dinner Talk.There were also some seedlings that weren't ugly, but weren't special either. Still though, that's a pretty good ratio. Dinner Talk bloomed for me this year (didn't last year) and got used a LOT! It seems to be a pretty nice parent. All of the Dinner Talk seedlings had really nice branching and bud count as well.
