The iris pictured with the red ribbon in the
background was brought to us just after the closing of our CWIS iris show on
June 13. The owner wanted to know why her clump of iris that had always
bloomed yellow, now had this one blooming in the middle of her
clump.
The creamy yellow and white iris is
the usual colour of her clump, a beauty too. The 3rd picture is the
lady's, of that flower from last year. It
certainly can't be weather damage, as she thought it might
be.
The only history we could gather about this iris so
far is that it was rescued from a local university. It's currently under
water at this lady's property in Winnipeg, so she can't get close to it right
now. We're hoping she'll remember which one this was, to mark the
rhizome.
Should we advise her to disturb her clump to dig
this one out, or to wait now til next year when it blooms
again?
