Re: rebloom

 

Hi Eleanor and All,


Today I had another surprise, never happened before. In an extremely overgrown seedling bed, I found another rebloom, but the label is buried somewhere in the clump. it does look like a pale pink I. setosa. It must have rebloomed earlier, because the last two flowers seem to grow out between several, very fat, still green pods, while the first flowering  scapes have their pods split. It was too dark to take a picture but I want to collect  some seeds tomorrow.
It must be this insane weather we have had, needed to turn the heat on again in July! It is warmer now!

Morning Liselotte and all.
 
I'd wondered too if it was rebloom, as your versicolor seedling is blooming as well as mine during regular season.  I've never had a versicolor rebloom.  Good to know they can.
 
We're actually having a nice fall here, with temps still in the 20C's, so I'm managing to finally get caught up, after digging out 3 1/2 beds during July, in the middle of a long drawn out heat wave.  It's finally rained overnight, so I get a day off.  Yessss!

Hi Mark and All,


Sorry, I was so excited about my crazy versi, just forgot that I was talking about reblpoom. I hate to say this, but think I. versicolor grows better in our cool, moist mountain climate
than anywhere else! (smile) Spring bloom of beardless iris, especially I. versicolor, virginica shrevei, Sibcolor, Versata,Versilaev and all sibiricas were spectacular this year, but we had rain and the bees were no flying ands non of the Shafer/Sacks hybrid would take any pollen. You should see the bees now! especially with Asters and Tradescantias etc.

Liselotte,
     Do you get spring bloom on the Versicolors?  That is sure a lot of blooms on that flower now.
