Usually, what a hybridizer records as the bloom season for his introduction is the
same elsewhere. E, M, L or some variant as VE, or ML. TOTAL RECALL was
probably registered EML&Re because for Ben Hager, TR was an everbloomer at
Melrose Gardens. It probably sent up staggered stalks in the spring and then
rebloomed until frost. Since there is no provision for using the term everbloomer, he
recorded TR's season correctly. They hybridizer cannot be responsible for bloom
seasons outside of his garden.
SWING AND SWAY is another case in point. It has been among the first to bloom
in my garden since introduction. I have talked to Virginia Messick, the hybridizer,
about this and she says she has heard of this before, but that SAS never blooms
until mid-season in her CA garden, so she registered it as M.
I have grown lots of irises over the years that have a bloom season different from
what is registered. As you grow more irises, you'll find this to be true.
