Rarely do I get a chance to post on the iris forum, but having run across this topic tonight I want to share my sympathy with Sharon for her loss. This might also serve as useful information for zville123. I got several SDB's from Laurie in July, 2006 as single rhizomes. They grew into thriving healthy plants. However, during bud formation last spring we got a severe freeze on April 4 lasting several days which decimated over half of the flower buds, leaving few if any flowers in 2007.

In all cases every single rhizome recovered, and now are blooming as if nothing ever happened. Additionally those plants (in less than two short years) are fully developed clumps with numerous flowers. I want to share just a couple pictures here of them. The first is Raspberry Jam.
