I did a post not so long ago on the .Iris Katherine Hodgkin, think I called her Katharine but never mind. I was reluctant to call her a Reticulata, I now see what I was looking for in your post (histrioides) thank you.

Once in a million you will get a fabulous new apple but most of the time you will get something highly inferior.

I have one old plant in the garden which I treat with manure in winter. To grow Rhubarb from seed is indeed a waste of time like you say, I have the experience. For 3 years I sowed Rhubarb 'Queen Janneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571100417242238211.post-71940961903072739892013-04-24T12:24:50.262+01:002013-04-24T12:24:50.262+01:00A very good reason to live there, Jason!A very good reason to live there, Jason!Roger Brook - No Dig Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210160273591839142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571100417242238211.post-41606204182333907642013-04-24T02:22:24.232+01:002013-04-24T02:22:24.232+01:00I never knew there was a rhubarb triangle.

For want of space, mine is in a less than ideal site, but it still produces enough for a couple of pickings each year. This year I bought a couple of Timperley Early plants to increase my stock, so I'm looking forward to seeing how they do. I'll resist the tempatation to pick some of their Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
