Here is my second stalk of "Zee" about to open. This was taken yesterday, so I expect to see an open bloom when I get home from work today!

Daughter Of Stars has many buds on each stalk and she just keeps blooming. She is growing near a big window so I can watch her when I take a break.

I have done very little to encourage my re-bloomers as to water and fertilizer after the initial bloom. 2015 looks like I will have hardly any distractions (moving or expanding beds or dividing clumps) as I did all of the moving/expanding this year and dug about 85% of the rhizomes this year. I need to devote a bit of time next year for a Fall Bonanza!

Love Potawatami! I grew up in the area of their old stomping grounds in Michigan. Even fished in Potawatomi Bayou! Nice to see such a pretty little rebloomer carrying their name. Big Grin

here's a better picture from it's spring bloom:

The re bloom stalk was rather short, and twisted, but it did end up with 10 blossoms

With 10 blooms who cares if the stalks aren't straight! Hurray!

Don't know if it's rebloom or just one of those weird things that happens once in awhile, but Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris (Iris 'Worry Wart') is blooming here today. It's a pretty little thing, makes me wish there was something else blooming to cross it with, and time for a pod to develop. Hilarious!
