RE: a bit more than double

I’m enjoying all your pictures, Donald.  I like more than one blossom at a time, and I especially like clump pictures that give an idea of how they grow.  City Lights is one of my favorites because it’s one of my best rebloomers.  I almost always have a nice stalk of it on my Thanksgiving table.  My grandchildren call it my root beer iris, because it really does smell like root beer.  I tried to use it as a parent this spring with no success.

CITY LIGHTS, a Dunn TB that is nearly an exact match in color for our native
Texas bluebonnets.  Unfortunately, it usually tries to bloom early and the
result has been a late frost guaranteeing stalks that don't get much taller
than the bluebonnets.  This was the first year that it's ever managed to get
into the TB height range.  I like the color and pattern so well that it'll
probably be here for a while just to enjoy on those years when it escapes
the frost damage.
