Re: CULT: bloom-out


An iris fan will bloom only once, but the rhizome will produce
additional fans. When the rhizome only has a single fan, and 
it blooms without the rhizome growing any offsets (or fans)
the rhizome is said to have bloomed out. 

In essence, bloomout means the rhizome blooms and dies without 
producing any vegetative increase for future bloom.
