Re: CULT: Foliage Only Irises
Walter,
I have Baboon Bottom currently in bloom with many stalks
still coming. Also we have blooms coming on Great Gatsby,
Gypsy Romance, Oh Jamaica, and Swingtown. The only one of
the above that has been growing slowly for me is Swingtown.
But we have had hail daily lately, and a lot of rain so
perhaps it has been slowed by the usual conditions for
here. We have even seen snow show up in the mountains
around Boise the last two nights. We are zone 5.
