Hello Ann
Just 1 BIG frost 3 weeks ago and the damage
was done.
We're having rain and sunshine now but the
irises don't seem to recover...
The pods resisted better than the buds, so i was
still happy for that!

That's so sad, Loic! Is it unusually cold for
you? Your plants seem taken by suprise....

Hello Linda
How many buds?
and the texture?
Since this one seems to be an autumn bloomer
that doesn't rebloom in the spring...
you should keep all of it's pollen in the deep freezer so you can daub
it in the spring on some reblooming SDBs for me, pleeeeease....
Like Forever Blue, Cry Baby, Auroralita, Fairy Footsteps, or anything
that will be willing to bloom in your very tough climate!
Everything here has frozen, about 100 stalks; that is really an
incentive to try and produce EARLY rebloomers!

Not much to look at, but at least it's a bloom! Dug and brought
indoors.
IMMORTALITY X VIOLET CLASSIC. Photos don't quite capture
it, but it's a
pale blue-lavender zonal. IMM sweet fragrance. Flowers
are bigger than
on maiden bloom - more normal iris size. Maiden blooms
last fall were
small.
