[PHOTO] RE:Reblooming iris species

---

Hi Jim and all

I enclose a picture of Iris chamaeiris , it is actually blooming outside now, for the second time, the reason is the very warm weather we have had during the autumn and early winter , until now there have been no frost at all, the temp has for a long time steady around 8-10C/46-50F, not only the iris are growing to fast but also other bulbous plants as well.

I have some junoiris way above ground now, the first species I.rosenbachiana will most likely bloom in January, which is 1-2 months earlier than normal.

The wet and warm weather is however useful for the boxes of seed from TB crosses, I  got 200+ seedpods this year and now there are reasonably good germination, with aprx 100 seedlings by now, also the seeds from arilcrosses is germinating  even better than those from TB.
