this iris bloomed today, months after all the others. is this common? it was not planted this year. i inherited this bed from my cousin and have been trying to document colors to plan for next year. this is the first bloom of the year for this one. my cousin has not planted any iris since spring of 2010. i love having an iris bloom now ! i guess my question is would this be the time of year i could expect a bloom next year and are they many that bloom now? here they bloom in april and may.

it is actually a very pale lilac although it looks white.
