Full Tide - rebloomer


Full Tide - rebloomer

The first time these irises bloomed in the 4 years I had them, after transferring them to a sunnier location late Spring.

Not as blue as some of the pics I have seen of Full tide, trick of the light? My Immortality is still flowering another rhizome of it has buds. Interesting your saying that Full tide flowered after moving, I did the same with Immortality and Hey Presto! but I also moved another 2 varieties of rebloomers, at the same time, but no flowers.

Tricky aren't they. I can never tell why some bloom and others don't. This is not what I was expecting at all. Full Tide is a nice medium blue, this one is marbled. Why this happens I will never know.

I think its a lovely soft colour and marble effect. As of trick if the light the best time to get a good photo for colour is as dusk is comingcoming

It all goes to show patience is rewarded.

Yes, Bathg, I was expecting to see a blue self. I have Peach Jam, a rebloomer, with marbled flowers, not that I have seen it flower yet at all!

The marbled effect is quite interesting with the yellow highlights.

It does look prettier than the self. I wonder if it is actually, what it is supposed to be?

It's suppose to a medium blue - no marbling. It' looks more like a splatter painting but I like that too.

See what it looks like, if you get a spring flowering.

OK do you think it might be more blue in the spring?

No, not really. They don't change colour, just intensity of colour.
