Re: Re: HYB-Romantic Evening

Hi Francelle,
I do not think I have ever seen this. Could poorer soil conditions inhibit this problem? I have heard that Edith Wolford has this problem. I guess I will find out this spring. Or could it be a problem brought on by reblooming genes? Where young rhizomes bloom with the 2 year old rhizomes in the spring? Are there any specific background cultivars that seem to carry this on to their get? 
Thankyou for the answer. I just wonder what brings this problem about. 
Sincerely Wendy,

  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?
