I doubt Edith will bloom for me next year, the rhizome is still so tiny. Maybe an inch or two max width and length. I'm giving her at least another year to bloom - I'm just glad to see she recovered from her failed transplant turned rot endeavor. The other Edith Wolford rhizome was completely disintegrated.

She was a purchase from Lowe's, and EW was blooming on purchase, but for three years afterward, never rebloomed so much as springbloomed again. I thought transplanting would be a fix, but me being forgetful and busy, it wasn't till July that I found her again, and that's when she was in the almost-gone state. Shrug!

Pretty much every day since I got my first new plantling from Winterberry, I've been going out nearly every day multiple times to check how my irises are doing. Whistling
TB 'Starting Fresh' blooming for me in May of 2022. It bloomed for a week and a half with nine buds.
