HI,

This photo is Los Coyotes. Too bad there were no coyotes roaming the hill behind us at the time I took this. That would have made a fun picture. :-)

One of the strongest growing irises I have here. The color is nearly blinding - they don't come much brighter than this one.

We have been working on reblooming reds and oranges. Have had a few
successes this year with the oranges, this is the only semi-decent red so
far. Witch of Endor X Mulberry Echo. 9 buds on nice branches but only 29"
tall. Bloomed yesterday. Tough color class to work in.

People love irises I hate etc, If it's different from everything else out
there, reblooms etc, the surprise yourself and release it. Remember all the
urky murky colour Barry Blyth releases (as well as his lovely clear ones).
Some people love different colour and find these colour combinations
pleasing.

Personally can't stand this one but George thinks it is OK. Everything is
fine in terms of banching and bud count, vigor, rebloom etc. I just don't
like the color combo. Could use some other eyes on it, my personal bias is
real strong on this one. Has been reblooming this week.

Mike,

I like different stuff, this qualifies as different. I wouldn't pay
$50.00 USD for it but then again, I wouldn't pay this money for any new
introduction from anybody. I'd fancy using this with an Arilbred like
SHEIK to see what happens. The lines on the falls are great !

My philosophy is that there's too many pretty irises out there but not
that many interesting ones to choose from. Yeah, I know I had to go
ahead against the grain again but that's who I am and I get bored
easily.

Mike -- I agree with your own reaction -- the color combination isn't pleasing. But maybe something marvelous in the next generation? -- Griff

From: "Donald Eaves"
Subject: When a weed isn't

This native plant was dug out of the bar ditch several years ago. The
common name is - surprise! - blue aster. In the fall it has proved to be a
spectacular garden plant. I've considered planting it directly among the
irises since the natural foliage is pretty thin and grows at a very uniform
height. I'm always afraid that I'm going to move something in that is too
invasive, but this one spreads very gradually. Normally it isn't bothered
by grasshoppers, but the plague last year proved that when their numbers are
bad enough they will. It blooms late, so I've seen it freeze damaged once.
Normally, though, it is covered by literally thousands of lilac-blue blooms
with the yellow center. It is also growing in place that is very shallow
soil over a limestone bed where I can't manage to keep anything else
growing. Some Dutch irises and Spanish irises will bloom on the right side
next spring, but those growing from rhizomes haven't managed the location.
A great plant for me here.

I enjoy such photos. It seems to me the proper question is not what will
envade (something will) but whether you like what will envade. After that it
becomes can I tolerate it anyway. At least that is the way thinkin' goes here.

Only real mistake I made here was scatterin' nodding thistle seeds
everywhere. My mother had told me a story of how as a young girl they had used the
prepared blooms to make powder puffs. Thinkin' some I'd rather there be ugly women
than have to deal with the thistles. Most of the birds here disagree.

Pretty plant. Save me some seed please. Prechate the photo.
Smiles,
Bill Burleson

HI Jelcy,

That was some good detective work on your part! How fun to find out where it originated from.. But just to keep the record straight.............................. that silly story and snapshot was actually from Linda Mann. :-) I would never have been so clever.

Donald,

You are so right! When I took that photo I took it was cloudy out and still look at how colorful and bright it was. It's such a good grower for me too.
