EPICENTER revives remarkably after being struck by a late
frost/freeze but not in time to bloom.
AURA LIGHT produces huge flowers on short stalks if it is
permitted to bloom. Has bloomed once in four years.
GIGOLO and just about all of its children I have tried. Also
gives narrow, grass-like foliage, and spindly stalks if they don't get
chilled out first.
Irises listed as VE or E for their bloom season are not for this
climate.
If I used any of these in breeding, I would cross them to
something that blooms much later in the season.
