Re:SPU:Strange Growth
Here's a link that might help.

Below
the picture is a link on tips for removing proliferations. Should work
for iris too.

Another term is
proliferation. Fairly common in Daylilies. Some
interesting articles in
web search. Apparently it can be increased in
frequency with certain plant
growth hormones spayed on flower stalk.

Growth
A good friend wrote me back with the
answer...
"This happens a lot in orchids and tree aloes,
but can happen in any
plant. I think the botanical term is, intercalary
inflorescence. It's
not rare, just strange when it happens."
a more
common term for it could be vegetative growth

Hi
Patrick,
I had this same strange growth on two spuria bloom
stalks a couple of
years ago. When I spoke to others in our club, two
others said that
they had had it happen in the past.
When
the rest of the stalks died back I planted them and at least one
of them
grew. Now I can't tell them from the other spurias in the bed.

I have never seen this on a spuria iris before. Out of
the old spent
bloom stalk is growing a new rhizome, complete with a root
about at
least an inch long. This is only one of 3 different plants this
has
happened to.
I know that various century plants and
onions do this, and the walking
iris also is known for this, but it
usually happens where there was a
flower, as opposed to right off the side
of a bloom stalk.
Is this normal for spuria iris to do this?
Does this happen with other
irises?
I've included a few
photos, one with the flash on and two
without...from both sides of the
plant.
