Not yet, Robin. That was the only one so far to send up a bloom stalk. If my understanding is correct, SDB bloom before TBs, so perhaps some still might send up stalks?

Otherwise, I'm guessing most will not until next year.

You are right Joshua. The smaller irises bloom first. Nearly all of mine that are going to bud have done so.

Well, it looks like nothing else is going to bloom this year. The leaves have certainly taken off, though.

Would now be a good time to transplant some into the garden or repot?

Any time after the end of bloom is good. If your summer gets really hot then it is best to either get them established early or wait until near the end of summer. The heat can stress them.

Thanks Leslie.

Seems I spoke too soon. This literally appeared overnight:

They will "sneak up " on you !!

Lovely colour.

good for them, sneaky plants can be great.

Well, it didn't get very far:



Presumably the fact that it's in a planter and this is its first bloom after transplant has made the stem shorter. Will have to wait till the next bloom to ID it, I expect.

At least you got a glimpse of it.

Indeed. I also know it's probably a dwarf, so can put it with the dwarf white one that also flowered.
