some iris babies being born to me.
Mid March is rather early to see germination for me, since my pots weather outside over the winter. Will post more picts of other emerging crosses as they happen

Best of luck! While we are adhering to all the precautions and infectious disease guidelines, the thing that we need now more than ever is the joy of new life! Your iris remind us that there will be great things to admire in 'some tomorrow',and from our little corner in northern CA. we hope that our girl's AI procedure this week will bring forth a litter of puppies as remarkably intelligent, lovable and healthy as her siblings and family tree. Green Grin!

Thanks Robin. Keeping our fingers crossed as tomorrow or Thursday is the first insemination day depending on today's progesterone test. So fortunate vet is allowing us to continue.

More iris babies being born to me.
Mid March is rather early to see germination for me, since my pots weather outside over the winter but now in late March early April, things are now getting off to a good start. A longer cooler period at the time of germination actually improves the emerging percentages somewhat because warm/hot weather at this time tends to shut down germination in my experience.

I've six pots of this cross, hopefully i'll get something decent

Thumb of 2020-03-26/TBManOR/4d4726
decided to start my own line of plicatas -- there's certainly no shortage of great parents to choose from nowadays. I've 5 pots of this one

Thumb of 2020-03-26/TBManOR/004533
my only reason for initiating this cross was because these two were growing right next
to one anothers and i didn't feel like walking across the field with a planned parent blossom in hand.
