<< two or three days of the midseason period. If one cultivar can consistently
vary to that extent in its bloom season in the same garden, it seems that
analogous differences in environmental factors might explain the
discrepancy noted by Donald and Linda. >>
Pallida blooms here first of the tall bearded irises and also last. It opens
blossoms with intervals between openings. I have few bearded irises though I
consider pallida and the variegated form of pallida both good border plants.
They have superior foliage and would be useful in the border if they never
bloomed. Pallida about 1 - 2 inches high just now.
