Hi,
LB blooms at 36" in height for me here in Missouri and must say is one
gorgeous iris!! Personally I love it more than SE which was introduced this
year and got all the fanfare. Another Schreiner introductions I love is
Brazilian Holiday.
One thing I very seldom do to a first year bloom in my garden is check the
coloration other than to make sure it's the correct iris. I never get upset
if the bloom is dull because I know the bloom is not from my garden. I have
had some blooms that really looked dull but the following year the bloom was
absolutely gorgeous. This is something you beginners my want to make a note
of because you are seeing the last bloom from the garden you bought or
received the iris from.
Does anyone else spinkle lime on their iris twice a year? I have gotten into
the habit of doing so which seems to enhance the color. Someone mentioned I
needed to watch my ph but our soil here in Missouri is natually acid so I
don't think 3 - 4 years will change the ph all that much. I have to admit I
do a lot of things that others think is weird but it's always worked for me
so why should I change. My motto has always been if it works keep doing what
your doing.
