OK Victor, I can say that some new ones that I planted in the fall (30 for 7.45 Iris Reticulata 'Purple Gem') began blooming by March 2nd as that is when DH returned from FL trip and saw them up. They are still in bloom today in the new area along the new stream. I have some other new ones out today ('Harmony') , but no pictures yet, as I have taken to bed with this raw weather, body hates this kind of weather. Fingers still work. So I will monitor their bloom length for you. The other one I posted was Iris reticulata 'Clairette' (12.00 for 50) and it was planted in the fall of 05, so this is the second year. I will do a head count tomorrow. I still have several others to bloom yet. ('Spring Time', 'Natascha', 'Marquerite' 'Pauline' 'Pixie' 'J.S. Dijt' and 'Cantab' and a hundred no names Here is 'Purple gem' on Friday.
