Rima, My TBs are well started with many buds still to go. I have a
couple of sibs both the same cultivar, LITTLE TRICOLOR, in blooom in 2
different beds. I have buds on REJOICE ALWAYS, EWAN, REPRISE and no-name
purple. The only ones that don't have buds are no-name blue and FROSTED
CRANBERRY and that's because there are pH problems with the beds they
are in. My I sanguinea is also in bloom. It bears a remarkable
resemblance to LITTLE TRICOLOR. I'm so glad to have all these flowers
showing or promising to show. I thought the iris season would never
start. Last year REPRISE had a very long blooming time but no repeat
blooming. So maybe that will also happen this year.
