I decided to make this after I took a walk around outside this afternoon. It's a bit breezy (in the low 70s) Probably windy now than breezy, as I saw my south gate fly open as I was typing this. Anyways, I have to say my least favorite dwarf is "Pele". I received it from @stildew a few years back. Planted it by my air conditioner, which get's lots of sun over there (on the south side of the house.) I hate so many things about it. Pele only bloomed twice, and makes 1 scape. ![]() I'm sorry @stildew Susan, it's not your fault. You're still a wonderful garden friend. ![]() Not only people give others signs, but plants do too. |
Sounds like 'Pele' may be best suited to being in a pot where it's easier to manage?

Could the hot air of the air conditioner be affecting the clump? |

I've had a few dwarf bearded iris I didn't like, but I think my biggest disappointment was Golden Eyelet. The vendor's description and picture showed a bright yellow bloom with yellow to orangish beards. And was described as flowering very early. All characteristics I was looking for. The blooms ended up yellow with blue beards. I know many people like that combination, but I'm just not drawn to it. As I recall I got a replacement, but same thing. The iris encyclopedia shows one picture with blue beards, the rest with yellow beards, but also says it blooms late. So I don't know what the true Golden Eyelet looks like or if I got it. Regardless, I ended up getting rid of it. Golden Eyelet??? ![]() |

Beautiful, Laurie. ![]() I don't think the hot air from the air conditioner would be affecting the dwarf iris. I have other irises around the AC too. They're tb's, and they are doing excelent. ![]() Not only people give others signs, but plants do too. |

I can't remember the name, but it was a Blyth SDB. That is very unusual because his irises are lovely here unlike the TBs which do not always do well in our climate, while his medians are very nice. |
