Re: SDB:Blooming this week

Hi Jeff,
This one has a very white beard. The flowers bloom halfway up the folliage. Could it have been a bee pod? It doesn't look like something someone would have introduced unless it acts different in other climates. SDB stalks have been a little shorter here than usual, but not that much shorter.

  find a white that bloomed above the folliage to replace it. Any
  suggestions? I am even less knowledgeable about SDB's than I am about TB's.

  Wendy,

  I don't grow many SDB's myself, though I do have Firestorm. There are no
  irises in bloom here yet, but Firestorm is the very first one to be showing
  a bit of color. The only white SDB I have is WESTAR (Bennett Jones, 1985).
  It has a nice blue beard, but it doesn't always reach its registration
  height of 12", though I don't recall it blooming way down in the foliage,
  either.
