I purchased several iris last year and planted them in Sept. While I lost a few to rot, most of them made it. However, while the ones that made it all got beautiful big fans on them, only 2 bloomed. Is this just because this is their 1st year or am I doing something wrong??

I have always loved Iris-it was the one flower my mother grew that I looked forward to every year and am now trying to build a little collection. I have several on order, but want to make sure that it is not something I am doing wrong so I can fix it before they get here, otherwise it is like wasting money of they never bloom..

Thank you, Stacey

Here is my Supreme Sultan that did bloom this year.
