This is the first seedling to bloom from my crazy mixed pollen experiment. It's basically a normal cross between two diploid Miniature Tall Bearded irises but under the influence of an overwhelming abundance of pollen from Iris psuedacorus. The plant is exceptionally [even abnormally] vigorous but I see no signs of anything "out of the ordinary" about the bud or flower. Two more flowerstalks are coming up on this young clump. It looks like it could take-over the world at the speed it's increasing.
I think I may have spoken too soon. The form of this one is definitely quite unusual now that it has opened completely. It's nearly a flattie!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I'll be posting more on this experiment!
But I really wish I had lots of my own pictures of the parents to post, because I made a collage of pictures borrowed from the web (just for my own viewing purposes) and it's pretty cool!
I'll see what I can do with my own pictures. ;0)
