Lots of plants only bloom once a year, Calin. But if you choose your varieties carefully, making sure that you have earlys, mids and lates, you can extend your Iris bloom season to about two months in the Spring. And if you add some re-bloomers, then you get a second go-round in the Fall. Now you're up to three months of bloom-time! That's not too bad!! :thumbsup:

I don't know if Irises have the most color mixes of all flowers, but I know that there are enough color mixes to keep me intrigued and purchasing for years to come!

And then you can add some siberian, Japanese, and other beardless to keep the show going even longer.

Where do you purchase your irises from, Calin?

Also add some median iris. As to iris bloom season. I wish iris bloomed longer also but what about Tulips, Daffodils, Lilacs, Peonies, other blooming shrubs and trees etc? I still love them all even they have relatively short bloom seasons.

Welcome Calin, iris are lovely! Here in the Willamette Valley flowers start blooming in Feb and we have something in bloom until a very hard freeze below 30F for more than 2-3 days....

Wow, you have iris blooming in Feb? It will be May for me to have the TBs. Are you speaking of the dwarfs?

not iris that early unless some of the species but many other kinds of flowers start blooming in Feb and occassionally even a dumb Dutch will bloom the end of Feb

I think they do (have the most color combinations possible)
You are right. Most plants only bloom once a year... wasn't thinking !
Most irises available are some (not many) bearded irises.
For the rest, we must resort to buying online, from foreign companies.

Sounds like an excellent business opportunity for a savvy Iris-lover, Calin!!

hybridizer to start? We do it here. there is a Middle European Iris Society which might have some Romanian listings.
