Polly,
No, I haven't introduced any irises. I just enjoy seeing what results from specific crosses. I completed my first cross in 1995, but did not keep any records of parentage. I started again in 2006, and have been keeping records of what I have hybridized. I will have to slow down hybridizing in the future, as I am getting to the point of having too many seedlings to take care of and places to plant them. This year I'm sending ~240 seeds from 12 crosses to lovelyiris for her to plant as I only have tubes for ~1200 seeds.
Following this post, I will post a few of the more interesting seedlings that have flowered and increased reasonably well from my 2006 & 2007 crosses.

Here is pic of my 1995 cross--parentage unknown
