Re: Re: HYB-Romantic Evening

No, Wendy, that's not overbloom.  Overbloom is evidenced by a bloomstalk on every rhizome in the clump.  Very little increase is left to bloom another year.  If none is left, you lose the clump, and that is called bloom-out.  Why is it that it's always my most beautiful irises that tend to do this?

  Hi Everybody,
  Exactly what is overbloom? Is that when the flowers are too heavy for the stalk? I have one that does this as all the flowers bloom at once. Or is it something that kills the clump?
  Wendy. Zone 5 and warmer today with sunshine  some left over snow and lots of mud.
