Hi Mike

Actually it seems to be cultivar specific. You and George seem to have bred some great bug magnets. Brides Blush, Silver City and Holy Fire (3 of the worst) all bloom mid season and get munched. Other whites blooming at the same time never get touched. I have a lovely pink

dwarf (Coral Point x Fling, yes it does flower at dwarf height) which is getting munched to death but a few feet away nothing is touching the Cache of Gold or Mighty Mouse and Ahwahnee Princess only gets slightly munched.

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?

Mike

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.
