Colleen, I know what you mean about how irises can look from year to year.
TWIST OF FATE is the one I have in mind. Some years it is outstanding --
others it seems very doggy and you can understand why Cleo Palmer, the
hybridizer, had tossed it on the compost pile to discard it - then only to
retrieve it the following year because it looked so good!.
I remember the outstandinbg rose gardens when I was there many years ago!
I would be most envious of your coming season of bloom if I didn't have my
rebloomers to console me! Some of them are:: JOAN'S PLEASURE has been
outstanding this year as well as AUTUMN MAPLE, AUTUMN SPLENDOR, ISTANBUL,
THEN AGAIN, THREE SEASONS -- all this in spite of having moved half the - no,
about a third of the rebloomers as they were girding themselves up to
rebloom. I'm happy to say that it worked all right for most of them,. Those
in stalk formation had to be staked so they wouldn't fall over in the newly
tilled ground. Rosalie nr Baltimore USA zone 7 where we are having early
summer temps in the day and wintery during the night. ryfigge@aol.com
