I'm at my aunts and she is offering to give me a piece of her Iris. It rebloomed for her last Oct. She doesn't know the name. Does any one recognize it?

Maybe Arlyn can pipe in, as mine hasn't bloomed yet to compare, but check out 'Earl of Essex' Meredith. Everyone says it's a reliable rebloomer.

I used African violet fertilizer on citrus trees that never make fruit and got 2 limes! I think I will experiment in the rebloom section with the cheap Miracle-Gro AV stuff. It is supposedly not the best for my AV's so this is a good opportunity to off-load it. My AV's bloom, so it can't be all that crappy.
Don't make fear based decisions.

A surprise bloom on 'Gladiatrix'. Happy to see it as the cat broke off the only stalk it had in the spring.

That is a gorgeous bloom, Sherry. One of many, I suppose, if you just planted 90 rhizomes!

George Sutton's Amakiki opened. It is the first bloom for it this year.
It's a vigorous plant and makes a good clump.

Bonnie, I hope you got your acorn. Somehow I sent one to Mary Ann on my first try. I'm so confused.
