It's still only 36 degrees here yet, and drizzly, Ugh nothing would rebloom in this mess. Glad to see you have some blooms coming Greg.

I now have 10 blooms stalks (or nubs starting to become stalks) on "Zee". That is crazy. I also have two stalks on "Hypnotic Meleody" and one on "Autumn Tyrst" (which looks really spindly/bad).

This my "group" of Zee. It is two rows with three "clumps" in each row.

Left hand row front to back is A, B, C.
Right hand row front to back is D, E, F

A) Three rhizomes-all three have bloom stalks
B) Two rhizomes-both have bloom stalks
C) Two rhizomes-both have bloom stalks
D) Three rhizomes-three have bloom stalks
E) One rhizome and three "baby" rhizomes-one has a bloom stalk
F) Two rhizomes-No bloom stalks

So, if you count that up, it is now 11!

Greg, Zee is an outstanding performer! Did you move it this summer?

No, I did not move it. None of these "clumps" or groups bloomed in the Spring. And since I see no increases on any of the rhizomes that are sending up bloom stalks, I am guessing I won't see any next Spring either.

Beautiful pictures of a beautiful iris. I can't believe the rebloom, Zee is in my future.

Since so many other beauties will bloom for you in the spring, you can forgive Zee for only blooming in the fall, where she shines on her own! Green Grin!
