Charriet ~ Welcome to the Iris Forum!  Those are beautiful seedlings. I especially like the first one. What are the parents? "Luck favors the prepared mind." - Thomas Jefferson |

Another  charriet. That first seedling is gorgeous, and the box seedling 1 is just as nice too. • “Whoever said, ‘Do something right and you won’t have to do it again’ never weeded a garden.” – Anonymous |

| Aren't they fun! You got some interesting ones. The First one reminds me of Bubble Bubble. I like the pattern of the one labeled Box Seedling 1. Voltaire: "Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities," |

| charriet to the iris forum. you did get some interesting hybrids, indeed. i enjoyed looking at the first one, and am curious as evelyn is on its parentage. |

| Spendthrift x Samba Queen is what the marker says but I have trouble believing it. I had help with markers last year. |

I agree with those liking the first seedling.  (No, my one new seedling which I had hoped would bloom this season, has not. But its from rebloomers, so there's hope for the fall.  )Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom |

| The one in the box I'll have to go back to the box and check Does anyone else have seedlings?     These two are siblings. They are very very different. Spice Trader is one parent. Came through in the one bloom  [lightbox]2019-06-06/Charriet/6e416f[/ These are siblings. |

Oops. Only one showed up. I'll try again.    |

Charriet said:I'm rather new at hybridizing, but a few nice ones popped up. Charriet. You've definitely got some keepers in your seedlings I like these two. I like the beige on the hafts and the lighter rim on the edge of the second one. |

| The bottom plant is out of Cold Fusion I'd seen some stunning progeny of Cold Fusion and thought I'd try it. I crossed it with a relative and it will be interesting to see what I get. Course I have to wait two years. |

| I have a couple pods that I did and another that is a bee pod but on a good plant. How long to they need to go before harvesting? Do they get brown like daylily pods? I don't want them to burst open. Bee Kind, make the world a better place. |

| bluegrass...the stems should be brown. if you're worried about burst pods, just tie part of an old nylon stocking around them. |
