Re: HYB:Maiden bloom:Anomalies

 Hi Betty,

 Maybe the party Griff is giving to get his bottles for next year might be a
good idea at this point. HA!!!!!!!

I don't have a clue as to what you are really talking about.  But to me the
maiden bloom is the first bloom it actually blooms. But I'm not a hybridizer

A virgin is a virgin until she is  de-flowered no matter how close she came.
(Since we are talking about maidens)

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?
