Re: TB: good pinks - Cherry Blossom Special

 I was given this iris after the Dallas AIS convention.   It is a 2000 introduction by Jim Hedgecock and has grown very well here.   I had about 8 bloom stalks on it this year and still have a large clump.   It is a very pretty, ruffled, light pink with pink horns.
As for reblooming pinks, I would vote for Mystery Blush and Returning Rose.

Subject: [iris-talk] TB: good pinks - Magical Encounter
  
      On the thread about good pinks. I am trying Magical Encounter this
year after catching a chance glimpse of it in Joe Ghio's fields 2 years ago
(we were "lost", while trying to visit Bill Maryott)  The Schreiner catalog
description says it may throw an occasional summer bloom - though they do
not use the term rebloom.  Anybody out there grow this one ?

      To date my best/favorite pinks are Valentines Day and Katie Pie.
Have Happenstance and Pink Champagne but still too early to call. Best Pink
rebloomer is Mystery Blush, but it is a very pale pink.... Winning Edge is a
peach pink plicata with incredible flowers, but it's always missing a branch
which is OK for the garden but not for show.
