CULT:Early Season


Late this afternoon, March 27, I searched about a third of my iris  beds.  
Found stalks in several of the 1907 cross.  This is Blatant X  All Revved Up.  
It produced over half a dozen rebloomers last summer and  fall.  One has a 
stunted stalk with two branches showing and three or four  additional, but later, 
stalks. These is some evidence of freeze damage and  the blooms may be 
stunted.  
 
Other seedlings are showing stalks.  One stalk from Blue Jay Way X  Clarence 
is above the fans.  One clump of Daughter of Stars is showing a  couple of 
stalks.  
 
I didn't check for early stalks last year, but in earlier years April 1 was  
the earliest I'd found stalks.  
 
Seedlings are sprouting fast in this warm weather.  Germination  appears 
acceptable.  Weather is not!
