Title: Arilbred irises 2014
Post by: Tom Waters on April 22, 2014, 03:03:30 PM

Opened yesterday: historic arilbred median 'Zwanenburg' (Denis, 1912), and 'Turkish Topaz' (Austin, 1962), registered as a regelia hybrid but more likely an arilbred.

I'm confused  ( - nothing new there then)  may I ask what the difference is between Arilbred and  Aril hybrids (regeliocyclus and oncogelia)  ?

Maggi,  Arilbreds were developed from crossing oncos and regelias with regular bearded iris.
They are from 1/4 to 3/4 aril blood.  RC's, and OG's are pure aril blood.
