Thanks, Greg, that accounts for the mysterious 10. Restless Tide should be introduced next year, but I had uploaded a pic of it into the database. Have not uploaded Storybook Princess yet as it is not appearing as a registered iris yet under the AIS registration database. Restless Tide is a sky blue and Storybook Princess is a very ruffled cream with yellow heart, the last introduction from the I-4 seedlings from the Heartstring Strummer X
Society Page cross. I have many seedlings from Fallalery, but as yet no clear introduction.
Some are laced and some not and colors range from white, yellow, orange, reds, variagatas,
and dark purples. Some are now in 3rd generation. Some really nice flowers, but bud count has been a recurring problem. Still more to bloom yet. I am using the seedlings more now to breed with than Fallalery itself. While Fallalery is a very fertile pod parent, it produces no pollen, so it can only be used as a pod parent. Pod parents have more influence over stem and bud count, generally speaking, than pollen parents--which usually influence the appearance of the flower more. In my opinion, at least, and I'm sure others would argue against that, but it has been my observation over the years. Many of the Fallalery children are fertile both ways and so can be used as pollen parents.
