They are. Hilarious! I had another on Blackbeard but a neighbor asked if he could have it and I cut it before getting a picture. Sticking tongue out

He's about 85-ish and doesn't have a cell and wanted to show it to his daughter. She has an iris(one)and has never seen a chimera. So...

My Serena Louisa sent up two stalks from the same plant also. It had multiples on another one too but it broke off from the wind. It is a very healthy plant and has beautiful flowers, no matter how many come out of the rhizome.

This NOID has two standards and a shrinky dink that doesn't know if it's a standard or a crest. All blossoms on this one are weird in the same way.

And what is eating the edges of the falls?

Edit: On checking my records, I believe this is "Quantum Leap."

Concertina with two beautiful blooms and a single fall coming from a budded socket. It's not a leftover, it just bloomed this morning:

That is usually caused by cold weather when the bud is forming.

I've had a more than normal amount of "not normal" blooms, this year.
