It may be the increases blooming for all I know. They are buried under grass and I have never gotten far enough down to get them out!

Pacific Shores started blooming last week.
I missed the terminal bloom. Finally got a
picture today. We have not watered the irises in this
bed once this year. It grows in partial shade and yet it bloomed.
One of our favorites from long ago.

I have rebloom on Honey Scoop. It should repeat in the fall too.

Come out toward the coast Rob, we're only in the mid 80's. nodding

Our weird season continues.
This is what is in bloom today.
Rock Star, Frosted Intrigue and Ben A Factor are their first bloomstalks but not their first blooms.

The king of the rebloomers is not blooming today.
That would be Sugar Maple, an SDB.
It has already rebloomed three or four times.
I just never got my camera out in time.

How do you all get multiple rebloom? In your heat? I am a rebloom failure.

I just realized what we always thought was Bangles isn't. Any ideas???
Never mind, It was Ben A Factor. All fixed.
Nothing to see here. Keep moving, you can all go home.

It hasn't been that hot. And we didn't have winter so it's been spring and summer for 6 months. That and some water and fertilizer and the right iris. Voila, rebloom.

Howling At The Moon is not listed as a rebloomer, but this is the second stalk.

That is a lovely iris. Especially valuable if it is a re-bloomer.
