Hubble Space Telescope B.Wright 1991
Hubble Space Telescope was a very pleasant surprise
for me here in the new garden. I have two clumps of it in different
parts of the yard and they both grew outstandingly well. The
magenta purple horns point upwards towards the sky in
what makes for a very unusual and beautiful guest in the main
iris bed. It's an iris that I plan to grow for the rest of my life.
I only just found out that this was Hubble Space Telescope, I recieved
it labeled from Sutton's as Howdy Do but couldn't be happier about
having this since it's supposedly an Arilbred. I'll check to see if it
was registered as an AB or a TB. For what it's worth,
Hubble Space Telescope set 3 good pods for me in 2002. Only a few
seeds germinated but I'm crossing my fingers that more will germinate
in 2004. Below is an analysis of the parentage from Donald
Eaves of Texas.
Donald Eaves wrote on Iris Photos:
"Hubble Space Telescope
80-130:(Sdlg. x Dresden Gold) X Abu Zabad
DRESDEN GOLD is also an arilbred. An OGB commonly
referred to as a
halfbred. ABU ZABAD is an OGB+, or more than
half. With that as
the parentage, HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE would be
an arilbred
genetically with at least an OGB- classification,
commonly referred
to as quarterbreds, and possibly even an OGB
even if the seedling
was a TB. Has HST been used as a parent?"
