This is very interesting!
Flower shape can improve very fast when crossed with more modern irises, and it surely will be a great addition to the gene pol for tough rebloomers!!!
 
Was it POL fertile? that would be good news, pollen travels fast and easy.... (-:

Loic and Barb  --  This is a little seedling that I gave away to a friend several years ago.  When it rebloomed for her, she insisted that I take back some of it.  I didn't keep a record of its parentage.  It's so vigorous that I intend to cross it with some other IBs, including one rebloomer, to see if something good can come of it.  The flower form isn't really to my liking, although the judges at our fall show liked it  --  I just took it to help ensure that we had enough cultivars for a valid show.  I'll be pleasantly surprised if a pleasing (to me) flower results in one or two generations.
 
I posted it once before.  It has interesting squiggly foliage (see attached).  --  Griff

Hello Griff,
 
what is this little Eva's Yellow?
Is it Mathes's aphylla Gladbeck Yellow?

This little IB has been blooming since at least October 18 and has several more stalks up.  I think it's going to take a freeze to stop it.  Gotta get these genes into another IB.  --  Griff
