RE;Rebloom at MOBOT


From: Christa Royer <croyer@fastrans.net>

Today was weeding day for the Iris Garden at the Missouri Botanical
Gardens. The Rebloom
bed looked great!
In bloom were
Winterland                Bountiful Harvest            St.
Petersburg            Billionaire
Winesap                    Lichen
Clarence                    Saxon
Caroline Gibbs           Autumn Tryst                 Second
Wind            Royal Highness
Happy New Year     Peach Parasol                Lilia's Gloves

There were blooms stalks on Tennison Ridge and Stingray.
The weather forecasters are suggesting good weather for the next 10 to
14 days so many of thebloom stalks on those all ready in bloom should
open. Clarence is absolutly stunning.
At least 20 people stopped to ask why the Iris were behaving so
strangely. Needless to
say Jim Loveland gave each a short course on iris that bloom twice a
year. We got names
and addresses on the ones from out of the area to send catalog
information . The locals
we invited to our iris sale in July, telling them to arrive early as the
rebloomers are the ones
we sell out of first..
