Paul, I'm new here too. I'm sorry to hear about the difficult year you've been having and about the loss of your wife.
I hope the coming year is better for you, and look forward to seeing your crosses sometime in the future. I love your tag line by the way "Grandchildren are my greatest joy." It makes me smile whenever I notice it.
Brad your crosses are gorgeous!!!
Every one of them looks like it could be introduced (of course we can't see height, branching, bud count and all that)...but still I would be delighted to have any or all of them in my garden!
Tom, what a beautiful tribute to your grandma! I hope you will share your progress on this project!
Jan...I'm sorry to hear about your seeds. That would be heartbreaking! I hope they show up.
and Bonnie, a turquoise iris...now that would be something new!! I can't imagine how they would get to turquoise...but it sure would be fun to see!
