What's really needed is some good experimentation
in which a number of reputed reblooming irises are compared for several
years
under growing conditions that are as similar as we can make them -- even
using
some kind of statistical design to ensure randomness of distribution in
several blocks. Good weather and growth records should be kept as well as
first and rebloom counts. Sounds like quite a bit of work, but maybe that
would help provide some answers and clues about what governs rebloom. Even
better if it could be replicted in several parts of the country. Anyone want
to try?"
Yes, I volunteer for anything...especially anything Siberian. :)
"Nice sunny day and some thawing. Icicles four or five feet long
hanging from the roof overhang as the melt refreezes (we don't have gutters)
make it look like an ice palace with the sun sparkling on them. Winter isn't
all bad."
Winter is wonderful here in the northeast US....plenty of snow
which is great for skiing - reminds us why we have chosen to live
here even if it was -25 F degrees this morning.
Cheers,
