Re: HYB:Bloom Out

---

Thanks for that great info Betty!  I didn't expect the bloom because it was so close to the time of separation, but I am really glad to hear that I probably need not worry about those.  I have been blessed it seems, since I haven't had that happen.  I shall check the archives for more info!  Have a great day!

Linda,

 

Blooming in the fall is not an indication of "bloom out!"  (If that is the question)  Fall bloom after transplanting is not uncommon and should not be seen as a problem.   

 

"Bloom out" is when a rhizome blooms on all available fans (season doesn't matter) and does NOT produce increase.  Some rhizomes are just teasing and will put up increase during the next season or after a good soaking rain.  Others simply will not produce more rhizomes no matter what you do.  (I've no idea what causes it, specifically).

 

You can probably find a lot on the subject in the iris-talk archives.  It's always the favorites that "bloom out!"  For me it was Orange Star & a killer seedling in the early years, and then Knoble Dragon in 2004/2005!!  There have been others but these are the ones that HURT!
