Subject: [iris-photos] hyb: Fun with
COLOR BRITE and MESMERIZER PART 2 - REBLOOMER
This seedling is basically a TB version of COLOR BRITE
with a fire orange beard. The spring bloom stalk was more conventional but the
fall bloom stalk in the photo is not. I thought about describing it as
"daylily" branching but figured that might attract the ire of some Daylily
growers. My second choice was "iris liliy" branching but catching up on old
emails I will probably will call it Smilin' Bill branching since it had two
branches leaving the main stem right at ground level. All the buds were
consisitent in being double socketed.
The chicken wire in the
background is necessary to protect it from the local critters that seem to
consider it an incredible edible. Since the nibbling started at the top of the
top bloom (32") I suspect it to be our resident garden jackrabbit rather
than the smaller cottontails. This is the only iris that we have ever had
something eat the blooms, Maybe the beard is carrot orange?
Michael,
Stockton Ca. where spring must be near because the frogs,toads, young coyotes
and foxes are all singing all night
