RE: HYB: Ruth's Love

Thank you for the picture of Ruth’s Love.  That is an old one that both my husband and I really like.  We have grown it for years.  If I just toss a rhizome under a tree or on a ditch bank it will grow and bloom.  One year I decided that it deserved a place in my garden.  There it grew so big and thick that it didn’t bloom, just crowded everything else.  However in all these years, I have never had it rebloom even once.

Opps, should have included a picture.  Cannot find one of the fall bloom but here is the spring bloom of Ruth's Love.

Here's a better picture of the second reblooming
diploid (from Iris cengialtii X CLOWN PANTS) -- it's
my favorite of the three rebloomers right now.

My question is about the way the stalks are growing on
all three of these rebloomers. None of them did this
during the normal bloom season, but most of the
current stalks are curved so much that they're
essentially growing sideways. I don't remember them
doing this last fall, so I'm inclined to think (or at
least hoping) that it's weather related. The red
arrows in the second picture point out two of these
curved stalks.

Thoughts on this, from any experienced rebloom growers???
