And occasionally the bilbies list, as well.
To start bringing iris back to the list, here's my bloom report:
Lots of SDB still blooming, including Ballet Lesson, Sea Urchin (both of
these have looked exceptionally good this year!), With Castanets, Pure
Allure, Quicken, and Bay Ruffles.
Some of the taller iris (IB, BB, and TB) are starting to bloom: Color
Brite, Champagne Encore, and several unknown TB have buds starting to
show color.
The pseudacorus in the pond are also showing color. They have grown
quite well since planting last summer. Besides providing some vertical
lines and color to the pond, they are also playing nursemaid to some fish
eggs and are home to a small frog.
I noticed something unusual on a TB bloom. Not only does this cv have
purple-based foliage, the bud sockets are quite purple, even more so than
the base of the leaves. I have not noticed this in the past. Is this
common among TB? Among certain cv? The TB showing this trait is one of
the unknowns in my garden, so I am hoping that this will help identify
it.
