REB:Daughter of Stars:Spoon irises

After talking poorly  about DOS, complaining of no bloom, I was fortunate 
enough to watch 4 stalks  bloom over the course of this fall.  I began this  
display unimpressed, and ended really liking it and (maybe) being a  luminata 
convert.  
 
Spoon irises: Last year I planted DOS, Zee, Second Hand Rose, Liquid Amber,  
Love Goes On, Peach Berry Swirl, Cobra's Eye, Apollo's Robe, Lilla, Autumn 
Joy,  & Aunt Margaret.  In most cases I had 2 rhizomes.  
 
Love Goes On (1 rhizome) didn't bloom in the spring but put up a stalk  after 
regular bloom season (June) and another stalk began blooming in Sept and  
went through most of October.  One stalk bloomed for almost 6 weeks . . .  one 
bloom at a time.  Peach Berry Swirl, Cobra's Eye, Apollo's Robe and  Aunt 
Margaret have stalks but I don't think they will open.  Have no fall  memory of 
Autumn Joy so my guess is it has neither blooms or stalks.  Lilla  & Liquid Amber 
both opened a few blooms and were hit by the freeze over 2  weeks ago.  In the 
spring, I was fascinated by Cobra's Eye.  
 
These irises are planted in last year's bed and are doing well.  In  2004 I 
planted irises as they were delivered.  Therefore, everything is  grouped 
according to supplier, and alphabetically (mainly) within that  group.
