I am something of an iris newbie, though I have grown several cultivars (badly) for some years, and even hybridized a seedling many years ago.
I have a question which definitely falls into the newbie class, and maybe someone here can answer it.
Iris pallida 'Argentea Variegata' looks to be a bearded iris, from what I can tell. But from a book snippet that I found on the web, I gather that it is a diploid iris. And I thought that most garden TBs these days are tetraploids, not diploids.... which suggests that I would not be able to produce viable seed on that plant, using pollen from a TB iris in my garden.
True?
(My main interest in this plant is in the white variegated foliage, but also in the fragrance. It would be a neat plant to play around with, to see what crosses I could make... if such a thing were possible.)
