two that have had bloom every month from June to November. One is OVER AND
OVER (Innerst 2000), a plicata that is out of this world.
Hi Jim,
That sounds like an iris we should get.
We bought PLATINUM in September because we thought it might be good to use in
rebloom crossing. Now it is sending up a bloom stalk. PINK ATTRACTION is
blooming again and two other Earl Hall varieties, VIOLET RETURNS and MATRIX are
also sending up bloom stalks. A 2001 TB seedling involving BEVERLY SILLS and
NURSERY SCHOOL in its background is sending up two bloom stalks which it has
never done before in the fall. This has really been a long fall bloom season.
There hasn't been a freeze yet and we hope we get to see these bloom before one
comes along. This is in our Zone 6 public garden in Cleveland near Lake Erie.
Our 2005 intro VELVET ECHO (SDB) and 2002 intro SHOUT (SDB) are still
blooming along with a seedling from LITTLE SHOWOFF X TU TU TURQUOISE and another from
SILK AND VELVET X LITTLE DRUMMER BOY. We were surprised to see blooms on our
2003 intro MENTOR MARSH, which has never rebloomed before.
