Todays Rebloom Duets

9 years ago

My own seedling, garden named Valentine Sweetheart, began reblooming today. It's out of Shores of Time and Rosy Rhino and has three reblooms scapes in all.

RED EDITION duo

Also in bloom today were JAY FARQUHAR, FINAL TOUCH, and HAPPY RETURNS.

What a nice seedling, are you going to register that one? It is so pretty. Red Edition is looking really good too.

I think this is the first year ever mine hasn't rebloomed. It's always nice to get reblooms late in the season!

Thanks Brad! Glad you liked the pinks! Sherry - I have some seedlings started from my Skater and White Tooth crosses. It will be fun to see them in the future. Jen and Kate - Cinderella Blue does have pretty colors, and I'm pretty impressed that it is reblooming so well this year. Kate - It's hard to see so many beds with not much blooming. But I'm ready to start moving, redoing and getting seedlings planted. It starts with digging out dud seedlings next week when the weather breaks. Debra

Three Nice Rebloomers Today

Kate - Armed to the Teeth is like Private Selection here. Most of the blooms are splotchy, but when you get a clean one, it's a definite wow. Celeste - I have several Emmerich purples, but I think Blood of Martyrs is the very best one I've seen. Sherry - Yes, Blood of the Martyr wants to keep blooming. Who knows if it will ever do this again? It was likely heavily fertilized by Emmerich, and then it got fertilzed again by me. Bat King seems to open well, but sometimes it's splotchy. I don't like it as well as my other purple toothy cultivars. I bought it mainly for hybridizing reasons, but it has weak pollen and hasn't been able to keep a pod. Debra

This iris rebloomed in my zone 5 yard today
Q

Gardenchloe found it in an old thread from our 2017 swap. It looks like Lizbest brought it. But at that time, it was called "Morning Face". However, I was never able to find that as a listed name for iris. Autumn Tryst fits it in color and the reblooming aspect. So that's probably as close as I will get for now. Doesn't matter too much. It's beautiful nonetheless and such a nice surprise this late in the season. But I guess it took it three years to truly be a "rebloomer". It's really making up for lost time. It has five bloom stalks right now. Although to be fair, in the past, I may have cut back iris foliage in this area earlier. Maybe that caused it not to be able to rebloom.

OMgosh. What a great picture of your seedling. Look at that edge and the deep pink color. What will you classify it as? A late bloomer or other?....Red Edition ain't too shabby either. Is the edge actually white in person or more yellow?.......Maryl

Nancy - I am still evaluating the seedling. So far, it doesn't have enough buds to register (8 on the original bloom and the rebloom). I'll see what it can do when I move it to full sun. It's growing in part shade now.

Maryl - The seedling is a midseason rebloomer. Last year it rebloomed in August and September too. Red Edition does have a real white edge with some gold in high temps.

Both of those are extremely pretty. The 3 rebloom scapes on your seedling is a real sweet treat. Lots of pretty blooms ahead to extend the season.

Both are beautiful, and three rebloom scapes sounds great!
My Final Touch has quite a few buds left, but all the others are on their last.

Red Edition seems not to have the splotchies like some other Floyd Cove intros. Perhaps you can cross your seedling with something that has higher bud count.

Mantis - Red Edition is certainly much better than Born To Run in the splotch department. I have crossed the seedling to both reds and pinks and already have some of its babies growing in cups and small pots.
