It looks normal to me, Gabe. Patience is the watchword here. When you make a cross, harvest the seeds, wait for roots to form, plant and check everyday for tiny green blades to appear......... then wait for 2 to 4 years for a bloom, hoping they survive all the iris perils in this world.... yes, patience is the watchword here. But, there are so many event days in this process that make you do a happy dance. smiles
