Sib report from Lithuania_1

Hello all,
the spring and summer until now were quite unusual, but we live in
area where such things can happen and this is not great surprise.
Every year can be different. Spring was long and cold, by the way dry.
Begin of summer also was cool, but I was hoping to have warmer weather
at iris bloom time. Start cherished hopes, but not for long time. Only
BANISH MISFORTUNE and some earlier ones avoided rain period. With more
abundant flowering rains began and continued until end of flowering.
As weather was not only wet but cool too, flower opening was slow
and drops of rain penetrated inside bud, also flowers opened still
demaged in many cases. There was impossible on several varietes to
take not good, but only satisfactory photo. You will see it on my
photos. Some varietes such as SAILORS FANCY, RUFFLED VELVET, EGO, AQUA
WHISPERS, CORONATHION ANTHEM, LADY VANESA,TOM SCHAFER,
SULTAN'S RUBY, LEMON VEIL and some others have flowered quite
abundant, only often were demaged by rain or hail. Some, as PLEASURES
OF MAY, CHERRY LYN, DEVIL'S DREAM, ROARING JELLY, SHIPS ARE SAILING
had less flowerstalks, but there was enough to enjoy it. I was pleased
this year with Marty's RIVERDANCE wich is of unusual color and has
sent 6 or 7 flowerstalks, though clump is not large. I was unhappy
with all demaged flowers of DAWN WALTZ, SARAH TIFFNEY, SEA OF DREAMS
opening of which happened in most rainy period. Near the SULTAN"S RUBY
which by visitors was confirmed as real jewel another was BLUEBERRY
FAIR. LEMON VEIL has sent lot of flowerstalks and I think is very good
for landscaping purposes as well as for enjoying from shorter
distance.
