Scented Blue, an unnamed Bearded Iris with the best scent of any I have. This is in the back by the evening sun bench. The two varieties, in the south facing front border, that are going to rebloom, probably need a couple more weeks to open.

Such a clear clean shade of blue - and scented to boot! a treasure! ...and what a fantastic reliable bloomer it is!

There is another blue Iris flower going to open shortly and yellow Again & Again has more flowers coming. Hope frosts don't destroy them.

And did they Siris?

Dd, A &A bloomed whilst we were away, but there is another flower stalk about to flower, and scented blue is still at a large bud stage, expect that will get frosted. Will pic when/if they open, condition might be wanting.

Siris if the buds freeze before they bloom, will that rhizome bloom again?

Siris if the buds freeze before they bloom, will that rhizome bloom again? Will it send up another flower stalk?

Bg, I wouldn't think so. Also it's getting rather late in the season. In general rebloomers are stout plants, so if conditions are right can make a daughter rhizome which might flower the following season.

Oh OK. thanks, so I'll discard those when I divide the clump.

If the clump is large, keep the newest plump rhizomes, these flowered ones will make daughter rhizomes. Discard the shrivelled old ones.

See who else is growing Iris germanica (Orris).
See who else has plants in genus Iris.
