LOL - before my time "officially" growing irises.

Yes, it is frustrating, but also exciting.

I found another seedling a couple of days ago trying to develop a stalk,
after severe killing cold in November, followed by repeated forays into
the mid 20sF since.  This is one that was re-set 2 yrs ago, and one
other plant from the cross that is supposedly the same (they got mixed
together a bit) had put up a stalk that wasn't showing color before the
freeze that stopped everything.

It's the only self from the cross of Final Episode X (Tea Leaves x
Matrix) - yellow :-(  All the sibs have large darker fall spots or
shoulders on cream to yellow ground.

Last year and the year before, I tried really hard to only make crosses
that had a pretty good chance of producing rebloomers, even if they are
boring yellows or whites, but we all know how that goes.  Especially in
a bad year, where nothing is working.
