I am trying to find some TB iris that bloom later than the average ones that bloom in early May. I saw a nice one called Fashionably Late. Anyone growing it?
This year, everything seemed to bloom at once, except for the white NoIDs on my hill. They were the last to bloom last season too. I can tell you the earliest to bloom, that would be Managua. It was the first named iris to open over the last 2 years.
I have Fashionably Late, I think! I've had it for about 5 years, it's never bloomed yet, but it was my fault, I hadn't found Grass B Gone yet, now there's no excuse, it's a big clump and should have bloomed this year. I've had lots of large clumps not bloom this year though.
Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.
My favorite late is Ambroisie. She never fails to make me smile when she joins the party. When the heat of June comes on, she does lose a few to it, though.
Your Ambrosie bloomed late for me too Celia. I looked out the window one day and saw that bright pink, and thought - that must be Ambrosie! I hadn't seen the blooms stalks grow.
