RE: TB-MAGICAL ENCOUNTER-REB

Bon jour, Loic,

 

Thank you for the lovely picture of Magical Encounter.  I grew it here for several years.  It has a really deep pink color.  Unfortunately it didn’t like to grow in my garden.  Very few of Schriner’s irises do.  I grew and bloomed seedlings from it.  Some of them had very nice bright pink blossoms, but bud count and branching was bad.  I didn’t keep any of them.

 

Thank you for the comment about 47-71 A.  That was its maiden bloom.  It had great substance.  Its zig-zag stalk bloomed eight blossoms over a three week period.  It has made a nice clump.  I will be interested to see what it does next spring.

hello Francelle

 

your 47-71A is a gorgeous pink!

You definetely must try to cross it with rebloomers.

 

If you don't want smaller iris,  October Splender is out of the question. even though it has rebloomed here this september, and has a very nice everything.

 

I send you the pictures of Magical Encounter.

It's quite tall  and is supposed to have some rebloom, (even if i haven't seen it here)

 

NOT AS PRETTY AS YOUR 47-71A THOUGH !

I spent the greater part of today planting iris seeds into cool, wet ground.  There is such a great variety in the size of the seeds.  Cloud Reflection seeds were like big, round, brown beans.  Valentine’s Day X Fogbound were the size of pearled barley, but they were dark and firm.  I have hopes that they will grow. 

Cloud Reflection is from Mesmerizer X Pink Champagne.  45-71 A is from Lady Friend X Bubbling Along.  I am dreaming of big, strong, elegant pink rebloomers.  I can dream until 2008 when I get to see the real things.
