Right, Mike -- Rebloomers here in the
fall are targets of all the bugs in the county, but darks and lights
alike. To enjoy them, you need to cut them and bring them inside.
Frost puts the bugs off, but a freeze zaps the blossoms. That elusive
golden mean . . . -- Griff

Hi Collen,
Bugs irritate me a lot. Seems to be the
ligher colored, fragrant iris that attract the most bugs. Late summer
flowers seem to get chewed up a lot more, maybe because there are less flowers
to eat. That is just a casual observation, have you had similar
observations?

Hi Mike
Relieved you have bug problems also. I notice partic
cultivars are especially susceptible. Holy Fire always gets
munched.
Very nice looking seedling

Reblooming today. this is actually a
spring pic because the fall bloom has been shredded by bugs. It
still has the really nice form and flounces, just lots of tears and
holes. Fragrant Breeze X Fogbound, currently 13 buds.
Bugs probably won't be an issue after this Friday, supposed to be real
cold.
