---++ Hybridizer Joseph Sumsion

I started hybridizing with sdlg 87-47-A, 'aka Grecian Skies' x 82-2-A; 'Broadmoor'. This was my first cross in 2001. I later then took that cross, and placed it into 'Last Song' and lost the lavender. Quickly learned that cultivar 'Widehips' won't work so well as a female iris. Alot of mud from crossing with cultivar 'Widehips', I gave it up for awhile. I still have the iris cross from sdlg. 87-47-A x Widehips growing in my front yard. I have only named it as a seedling. The silver also was lost from the features of Last Song, but so was the over lapping falls, due to *'Heman Blues'* (G. Richardson) being in the bloodline. With the silver being removed, something else featured into my seedling instead. It is still lavendar in color, but has a blend of a reddish violet in the standards.

Coming back into the work in 2009, I had a new tactic. I wanted a clone that would have the characteristic of colored edging and ruffling. So, I researched it out, kind of guessing that I would get something with color on the edges of the falls with the parents I chose, World Premier X Ivory Ghost. World Premier when I first spotted it had a bluish white edge, and a nicely blended rim. That told me to try it as a pod parent, and just see what happens. Ivory Ghost has a light edge on the self as well, but with Fogbound having being pure white in the falls, I wasn't sure what would or could happen with the parentage of Spring Showers being the next pollen parent.

The name that is on the records shall be known as <strong>'Moon Tide' </strong>and it is my desire that it is enjoyed for many, many years to come.
