No, I suspect it had already finished blooming. It was fairly late in the MTB season at the time.

It's a neat iris. I'd love to grow it in my yard, but believe it would need a fair bit of supplemental water in this climate. Watering is something I'm just not willing to do much of.

Kent - did you read Chad's Pot Culture blurb on his website? You could grow it in a pot! Which is what I am seriously considering doing. And he says he used Miracle Grow potting mix! That sounds like iris for dummies, but hey, if it works!

Neither. Hilarious! I just take a LOT of pictures and a small percentage turn OK. Digital photography is one of the best things to have come along in the last 20 years.

It seems like a pretty good grower as well.

My Emblematic got a bad case of rot last year, one rhizome lived, I'm hoping it grew enough to bloom and prosper this year.

Great photo of Jazzberry Kent! My camera keeps washing out the whites no matter what setting I use.

Be still my heart! He has pictures of one of my Dragon's I am waiting on. And it is in Keppel's garden!

If Keith has Dragon Kiss, I might order it next year. too many ruffles for me, but my 'Hi Buddy' could use some so might be a good cross.
