N245A: Mythology X Experiment $22.50 date with destiny (Black 09) Species X - most closely resembles a very short IB Midseason-Late TB season 18” (46 cm) Date With Destiny, along with its sib Alberta Clipper, has the potential to add an almost unimagineable dimension to the SDB class and to a lesser degree the IB class. Traditional SDBs usually have one branch and 2-3 buds. On occasion one will have 2 branches and 4-6 buds. The problem has been that the later types tend to open multiple blooms on branching that is too close to display them without becoming a bunchy mess. In this respect, Date With Destiny overcomes this problem. Amazingly, the foliage remains short so as not to interfere with the flowers and wellspaced branching provides plenty of space for them to open properly without bunching. Flowers also remain proportionately small. The other major effect is pushing SDB bloom time well into TB season. I say FABULOUS! Classically formed flowers have mid violet blue standards and blended band on darker red violet falls. This represents an amazing pool of genetic material. Sdlg.

Black Seedling # O177A (TB) Phone: 503 390 6072 THANK YOU to -Keith Keppel for his help in proofing this catalog to help insure as much accuracy as possible in a publication with so many entries. GARDEN CHIT CHAT and other fun things We are very glad to once again say “Thank You” to our loyal customers for another prosperous and rewarding year. We are always very aware that without you, we wouldn’t be where we are. You are our backbone. We are hopeful that gardening helps calm the nerves and jitters of these challenging times and also that somewhere you have a little money tucked away for a new plant or two. Flowers, like our companion pets, help make life more beautiful. Many of you have followed the trail that our companions, our very much loved pets, have made with us. On December 20, it was a very sad note to have to say goodby to our oldest husky, Fancy. It is a sadness for us, a sadness of missing her and her gentle, loving nature. We can’t be sad, however, that after a great life of 13 1/2 years, she went to sleep and didn’t wake up. There was no pain or prolonged sickness. As the snow began to fall on December 19, I took this picture of her enjoying great husky weather. Nickel is also starting to slow down. It seemed time to add a new husky to help keep the property cleared of rats, mice and gophers. A new little husky girl named Kita, short for Nikita so she doesn’t get confused when we call Nickel, has been adopted by all the MidAmerica crew. Some of the crew are liking her better than others. Cher thinks she’s a bit too rowdy. Adjustments are a part of life, even for dogs. There may yet be another husky added to the crew before you get this catalog. Cher and Diva are doing fine, but like us, they get the winter blues. They’re ready for spring so they can romp and play among the plants. Amazingly, these low to the ground bulldozers cause more damage to iris stalks than the huskys ever did. Thomas and I are both delighted with how well some of our irises were recognized in the awards system. We appreciate all the judges who took their time and energy to grow and evaluate some of our creations. We hope that they continue to please not only AIS judges but also the gardening public. We work toward creating hybrids that can withstand the rigors of the everyday garden. Here is a look at those awards. For Paul - Cook Douglas Medal for SDB, Cat’s Eye. Walther Cup for SDB Bluebeard’s Ghost. Ben R. Hager Cup for Crow’s Feet. Devil May Care was runner up to Sass Medal and Tingle was runner up to Caparne-Welch Medal. Award of Merit for TBs, Bold Encounter and Aardvark Lark. Also for BB, Be My Baby; IB, Spiced Peaches; and SDB Attack Cat and Eye of Newt. Honorable Mentions received were TBs, Padded Shoulders, Conjuring Cat, City of Gold, Dressed to Kill, Cimarron Trail, Fine Porcelain, with Bushwhacked and Dramatic Style runners up. HMs were also awarded to BB, Crow’s Feet; IBs Nickel and Fire in the Sky, with runners up Abbey and Sweet Potato Pie; and SDBs, Bluebeard’s Ghost, Wish upon a Star, Canadian Kisses, Big Blue Eyes, Hugs, Pussycat Pink, Experiment, Gingerbread Trim, Fine Idea, Ghost Ship and runner up Bright; and MDB Dollop of Cream. City of Gold won 5th place at the International Iris Competition in Florence, Italy. For Thomas - Award of Merit for TBs, Brussels and Mythology with Bridal Icing a runner up. Honorable Mention for TBs Wild Angel, Discovered Treasure, Athens, Peace Prayer, Material Girl, Modern Woman, Spiced Lemon, with Foreigner and Gallery as runner up; SDBs Leopard Print, Scream, True, and Cub Cadet. Suspect was top AB. Saving the best till last, Thomas had an amazing array of awards from the International Iris Competition in Florence, Italy. Morning Sunrise won 1st Place and also the award for Most Original Color. Power Point won 2nd place and also the award for Most Commercial Variety. Last but not least, Peace Prayer won the award for Best Scented Variety. Thomas and Kirk added a lovely new gazebo to the garden. You are welcome to come and look around a bit and then sit in the shade of the gazebo and enjoy your lunch or snack and maybe a sip of wine. As always, may your gardening bring happy days filled with loving friends & beautiful flowers. Paul Black & Thomas Johnson WHAT’S COOKIN’ Each spring there are many exciting new breakthroughs plus advancements of existing lines. I have a little space at the end of the catalog in which I can indulge my creative spirit and share some of them with you. For more history, check the last page of the 2008 catalog. Advancements in the aphylla and mixed chromosome derivatives have developed faster than I ever thought possible. Most of these invovle Dolce, Alberta Clipper, Silverberry and Good to Go and Amusing. Q18D flower and 3 branched stalk - 19” tall Pollen parent is SDB Amusing. Q18D Q34A - 23” Q48B - 22” Q67B - 24” Each of these seedlings has a high of Q137B - 25” percentage plicata heritage which should make them very exciting to work with since Q18D - 19” it allows the expression of many colors and patterns over them. Q68A is a beautiful peach and cream glaciata, while Q137B is a startling luminata. Q32F and Q32F - 25” Q67B are both very close to MTB in character, and colors are bright and cheery with falls of Q67B looking very red. Both are a result of tetraploid MTB X SDB parents. The most interesting IB cross, Q74, was a combination of my pink and blue breeding in both TBs and SDBs. The quality of this cross was very high. The diversity of the genes is evident from the variation of color within the cross. Q74F Q68A - 26” Q74 series Q74A Q74D Q74J Why would I care about something that looks like Q29A? It is a single seed from a bee pod on Suspect. Suspect Q29A is a traditional aril-median (arilbred X SDB) cross which so far has been stubbornly infertile. To get any seed is unexpected and for it to germinate is even more unexpected. To be of value it must have some fertility to move forward. Q108A And now to my favorite bearded class - SDBs. I’ve worked many generations toward pink standards, blue falls with pink bands and the reverse. The results still remain a bit smoky but it is there as evidence Q108A and Q108B. This has been combined with plicatas. Seedlings such as Q87A are showing up with pink standards with hazy blue plic and white Q87A falls with mauve pink bands and blue plicata bands inside those. Other plicatas that were exciting are the colorful luminata Q95B out of Trust in Dreams, bright orange bearded Q117D out of Q108B Amusing, and maroon lined plicata Q111A out of Shining Through. Q116E is a unique minimal plicata with wide gold bands from my line of late blooming SDBs. It blooms at the end of the SDB season.
