Re: Iris seeds germinating

 

I wish I remembered more about it.  Mostly I remember reading it and wondering how it would do indoors under lights.
Since there was no mention of it dyeing out, I assume it was still growing as it bloomed.  Then again, if no one here knows about it, maybe it did die out.

Walter,
      While that SDB Iris kept on blooming, did it keep increasing?  Where I am, the winters are changeable and we have frequent night freezes.  But, we still sometimes get a few fairly hot days even in midwinter.  Spring brings weather that is increasingly hot and dry, a trend that continues to the start of the summer Thunderstorm season.  In the spring, it can be over 100 F and have 10% or even lower humidity.  The rainy season is mostly hot and humid.  The fall brings an end to the storm season and slowly moderating temperature, then often a sudden lurch into winter.
