HYB:Maiden bloom:Anomalies
Hi Gang,
I tend to get way too excited over maiden bloom. This has probably been the
most embarrassing part of my iris experience! <vbg>
In addition, there are times when I just don't pay enough attention!
Many of us saw all maiden bloom for 2007 totally wiped out. This has never
happened to me before.
When these irises bloom, either this fall on next spring, will the bloom
still be maiden bloom? In regard to the anomalies in bloom? My thought is that
these irises tried to bloom, and even though we didn't "see" them, the
maiden bloom anomaly factor is gone?
If true, would this apply to only the seedlings that tried to bloom? These
are the types of things I don't write down. My note taking is much better in
off seasons when things are not complicated by bloom and hybridizing duties.
I've no memory of marked anomalies in 2nd year bloom clumps. (Ones that
didn't bloom the first year)
What say ya'll?
