Eventually, this photo gallery will include almost all of Eugene Hunt's Arilbred Introductions, although I do not have photos of some of his earliest ones. Photos include both those he introduced himself and the selected seedlings I introduced for him after his death.    Gene's Esther, the Queen and her descendants became the core of my own aril breeding programs.  In addition to line-breeding, I also outcrossed his stock to arils, other arilbred lines, and a number of medians and TBs.

The photo gallery of Col. Gus Seligmann's Arilbred Introductions, is a relatively small one, because he took up hybridizing rather late in life, just a few years before I turned from pollen-daubing to serious hybridizing.  Many of these were joint productions.  Crosses made in his garden, seeds cultured and germinated out at the mesa, potted seedlings returned to grolites and ultimately lined out in his garden.

The photo gallery of McAllister/Malevil Introductions includes all of my arilbreds introduced through Malevil Iris Gardens.  Some were already registered before the hiatus.  Others had been slated for introduction, but not named.  The newest had been through the initial selection process but were further tested and the final selections made in Lubbock. 

So if you want to see the latest introductions -- browse through this gallery.

The photo gallery of seedlings is being remodeled and separated into several smaller galleries. 

The photo on the left is of a "Silver Selection" slated for introduction in 2008 or 2009.  This is the group that has passed all tests and is being increased for introduction.

A "Re-Selected Seedling" has passed all initial tests.  Many will move to the Silver level, but if several similar seedlings pass all of the initial tests only the best will actually be introduced.  Photos of many other seedlings are posted, not because they will be introduced but because they provide valuable information. 

Seedling galleries have been reorganized by year, with pages showing seedlings from individual crosses linked from the year's breeding records.  To browse through these, go to the Seedling Gallery or go through the Breeding Records section to find a specific cross.

In addition to the old Chat Excerpts, this section now includes instructions for joining our regular chats in the new room.

Garden visitors often remember the Menagerie as much as the iris, so this section provides some requested photos, as well as a few stories about MVIS mascot (Fred), garden hostess (Suze), the guard cat (aka the Grizzled Old Warrior), and the wildlife.
