Re: Strange BATIK bloom

I had a Batik last week similar, most definitely 5 falls!!! I took pics too...and used the pollen on a few specific TBs...and also selfed it. Wonder what I will get! BTW, yesterday was at a neighbours Iris garden - she has over 500 named varieties - and she had several TB with weird sport blooms, very skinny falls with no frills, even the colors were not quite the same! Wonder if it is the weather, or what?

Subject: [iris-photos] Strange BATIK bloom

Hi, all,

I was on "no mail" for a while but decided to rejoin the list. I have not
had a great bloom season but I have had some garden weirdness. I have white
and blue (they look purple to me, but they're called Zwanenberg's <sp> Blue)
tradescantia growing under a lilac and near some irises. They're nice clumps
except for one spindly bit growing where I had not planted it- looks like it
is IN a clump of STELLAR LIGHTS. Today it flowered, and the flower is
lavender.

I had a TIGER HONEY bloom with one fall that was half brown and half broken
color.

Today I found this. I counted four falls and four standards but my mom
thought she saw five.
