Lisa... Thanks for offering to share the increases. That's very kind of you. I look forward to helping you indentify the parents of the seedlings.

Margie... Thanks for the kind words. The conjuration seedling is from a cross of Conjuration X Red at Night. The blue, a no id purple X Bonnie Davenport. I'll add a few more seedling photos....hope you'll do the same when you get the time.

Anita... Thanks for commenting on my babies. Always good to have other opinions. I have enjoyed viewing your seedlings too... you have some really nice ones. My favorites are the 03SSu seedlings. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Good Luck!

iris MA... Thank You, I appreciate your kind comments. I have a few more blues that I will post for you.

Soulja... The blue is one of my favorites, due largely to the beard. I'm glad you like it too. The iris in the second photo has almost lifeless (drooping) falls... more so than what shows in the photo, not much going for the standards either. It's been growing in the shade of a fast growing Live Oak tree, so hopefully moving it into sunnier location will help.About form.... petals should be full, showing good substance (thick, durable, not easily torn or wind damaged) The shape of irises vary, and many prefer one shape over the others. There are rufflles, lace, erect falls, etc. I am posting a picture of 03-21b, a sibling to the one needing improvement I don't like the color as much, but compare the two, and you can see the difference in form. Thanks for the kind words, Dan
