I am so far behind on the various forums, that I'm not even going to try to catch up.

A few pictures from the other day(s)...

The following were from 10-18, taken shortly after 6 PM:

Thumb of 2016-10-22/Polymerous/7a1ccb
rebloom on a very short scape of 'Egyptian Queen' (the clump is way overgrown and needs dividing)

Thumb of 2016-10-22/Polymerous/0765a0
continuing rebloom on 'Newberry White Dove' (there are a couple of buds left to go)

Thumb of 2016-10-22/Polymerous/f8a88f
LFO on 'Winning Note'? (I'm wondering if more scapes will appear...)

Thumb of 2016-10-22/Polymerous/6981ce
a quartet of same-scape blooms on 'Raspberry Banana Cheesecake' (in my experience, this is highly unusual); I am probably going to remove this plant shortly.

gratuitous rose bloom: 'Lady Emma Hamilton' (my daughter picked this one out, and now she lives in another state Sad )

A late surprise in the seedling patch! (Let's hope it makes it to bloom...I have not had good luck with this particular cross. And yes, those are poly buds...)

from 10-19, also around 6-ish PM

Thumb of 2016-10-22/Polymerous/06bf3c
a 4x4 polymerous bloom on 'Burmese Buddha'; this cultivar sometimes reblooms in the fall, and sometimes, variably (it seems environmentally touchy) produces some number of polymerous blooms (which, as you see, are not always symmetric). Color is more gold than seen here (I had to Photoshop to lighten the overall dark image).
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
