Thanks, Francelle -- It was a new
seedling last year, and this is its first bloom. Some other fall bloomers
(i.e., that first bloomed in the fall) that I have produced have not bloomed
consistently in the spring, so we'll have to see what this one does.

That is a nice
seedling, Griff. Those are colors that I usually don?t care for in an
iris, but as fall colors they must look beautiful glowing in the sun.
You call it a fall bloomer. Does it bloom in the spring
also?

Sometimes, I think, the impulse to
share the photo of first bloom ought to be resisted. In the case of this
fall bloomer (KINDLE A FLAME X CHERRY GLEN), its photo was taken, and
posted, after opening during a night of hard rain, and it surely
qualified for the name Rain in the Face. Now, however, with the rain
gone, it presents a different picture, having the flared falls I thought it
should have, and its colors more clearly seen. The first mug shot and
the stalk shot were taken in early morning sunlight, the second mug shot near
sunset. It has 9 buds and a nice, fruity fragrance. In the stalk
photo seen here, a spent bloom has been removed from the lower left
branch. The spur below the terminal toes in, so we'll have to see if
that fault persists in the spring. Except for that, I'm pleased with it
and will probably try to cross it with POOH'S DREAM, a large, tailored
honey-colored TB which is being introduced next year. --
