Haven't had much time to post this year, but now that the SDB bloom season is winding down here and the TB season is just getting started I have a few moments. Here's some of my Standard Dwarf seedlings that bloomed this spring:
09D-01b
I like this iris more all the time, but am still not sure what to do with it. It looks too much like Cat's Eye to introduce, but I can't throw it away, been using it as a breeder.
The following siblings are all children of 09D-01b

Had over 70 seedlings from this cross and probably half were purple. Most are now serving as supplemental mulch under my grape vines, but I kept about a half dozen, most have really nice beards and/or texture veining.

I like these, but feel like I've seen an iris just like the first one somewhere before. Can't place it, though. If the second had brighter yellow standards or the last had richer color on the falls, they'd be a keepers for sure. As it is

Quite a few siblings in this cross were yellowish with a brownish fall spot, just kept one or two of the best, not even sure why.
