Every bloom season an extensive thread develops on this subject. My
opinion is that the occurrence of these blooms with parts missing or with
extra parts is simply chance--developmental errors in the bud primordia.
It means nothing and there is no common cause to be found. If you grow a
lot of iris, you are going to see a few of these anomalous blooms.
At least that is the opinion of this old nut.
