Have A Look At DH's Iris Seedlings

As I promised in my last post, here are four of the seedlings my hubby is developing to register, and hopefully introduce to the Iris world in the next couple of years. These iris were produced by him cross pollinating two different iris. They are all siblings but look how different they are in colors, beards, ruffling, and even structure. I think the second one is my favorite, I love the butter color standards and the red of the rim on the falls.

The third one, with the bright red beard has the most fragrance, makes me want to stick my nose right into it.

The fourth one may have the best structure, tall stright stems, good branching, and seven buds to a stem. Almost everything desirable in a new introduction. These iris will have to be tended, watched and records kept for another couple of years to see if they maintain all the desirable points and continue to reproduce well. If so, he may apply to have one or more of them named and registered . After that, should he decide to put them on the market he would have to find one of the larger mail order nurseries to 'introduce' the iris in their catalog.
Which one do you like best?
