Old reliable wasn't this year

| My rebloomer Immortality didn't this year. I was disappointed. I think the lousy weather we had in Northeast Pennsylvania might have had a role in this. Did anyone else have rebloom failure on a normally reliable Iris? |

| Immortality and Brother Carl both are blooming away in NE Mississippi. Baby Blessed, Eleanor Roosevelt and Tea Leaves are also in bloom. |

| Rebloom and reliable don't tend to meet in my garden with too much frequency. The only variety I grow that I'm actually starting to think I can expect to see again in the Fall is 'Champagne Encore'. It rebloomed this year and last, which is the only variety I've ever had actually perform a legitimate rebloom (out of 800 (200 new this year and I have had "first Fall" bloom in the past)). It's a very simple, tailored IB, but I'm starting to like seeing it twice a year. It sent up a stalk late this year and I had to take it indoors (took it back out for the light and BG in this blah photo). We just had a freeze a few nights ago that all but flattened the vegetable garden. The neighbor out at the farm had IMM in bloom along with a purple plicata, wonder how hers faired... 'Champagne Encore'

| Many of my rebloomers haven't rebloomed & I have several. Earl of Essex has always been very dependable for me, but only a couple bloomed. Harvest of Memories has done well,but not every plant bloomed. Immortality has never been a good bloomer for me, I'm lucky if it blooms in the spring. |

You aren't alone, Mombo. With all the rain we had in Western PA this summer - very unusual, I'd have thought that I'd have 100% rebloom on my rebloomers, but I had more rebloom the last two years. Here's what IS reblooming:
Lo Ho Silver
Sugar Blues
Rosalie Figge
NOID Blue-purple Standard Dwarf Here's who is MIA this fall:
Plum Wine
Immortality
Clarence
Baby Blessed
Baby Boom
Fast Forward
Peachy NOID that may be Jean Guymer
Victoria Falls Linda |
