(MDB) Parentages

Under Construction

It is particularly hard to create new MDBs that stay in class. This page seeks to enumerate the types of croses that have produced MDBs. These parentage would be possibility predictive of chromosome counts, and the genetic makeup of the cultivar. Modern MDBs started out as Iris pumila crosses, Early MDBs were usually Iris lutescens (chamaeiris). Standard Dwarf Bearded (SDB) were created by crossing pumila and tall bearded Irises. The following parentage is common in MDBs; pumila x pumila, MDB X pumila, pumila X MDB, MDB X MDB, SDB X MDB, MDB X SDB, SDB X SDB. Note pod parent is always listed first.

We are generating a list of cultivars in each parentage

pumila X pumila;

MDB X pumila;

pumila X MDB;

MDB X MDB;

SDB X MDB;

MDB X SDB;

SDB X SDB; 'Beetlejuice'; 'Black Olive'; 'Dragon Flamedart'; 'Droll Troll'; 'Early Sunbeams';

Unknown parents keep us from being sure of background but one might assume If the unknown bloomed at the same time as the pod parent it was probably the same class

pumila X ?;

MDB X ?;

SDB X ?; 'Celtic Pixie'
