A bloom for today...

... amongst the fallen leaves

Do you know which plant? How Jolly!

No idea ~ got it from a little old lady that I know. Probably came from Shreiners or some other catalog many years ago. She also gave me a peach-colored rebloomer.

Wow so nice to see this time of year. Thanks Moby.

I wonder if it's ROSALIE FIGGE. Mine is blooming right now.

It does look like it doesn't it? I love the contrast with white, LOVELY.

Sure looks like it could be. We hard a hard frost last night so I cut it to bring inside. Here is a pic to see the whole stem and bud placement.

And a close-up of the beard. Still think it's Rosalie?

Harvest of Memories is blooming all over my yard.
She's not as beautiful as a lot of other irises, but she's branched and fragrant and everywhere....

Boy, I don't know. I was mainly going on the fact that they were quite similar and are reblooming at around the same time, but I'm certainly not an expert...

Here's my favorite fall/winter rebloomer -- AGAIN AND AGAIN. This picture was taken a few days ago, and right now I have 3 out of 5 stalks in bloom. And every time I get near the plant I always think I smell grape Koolaid!

This is what wished me good morning today. Red Revival, Preston, 1975.

Nice. :)

Very nice!

I love that, Peg!! Is it a rebloomer? Or just confused -- lol!! Wondering if you have an extra rhizome or two that need a new home?

Love to see rebloomers! Thanks everyone. They are all very pretty.

Red Revival's popularity must have come and gone quickly in the 1970's because the only comments on it are the ones I've added to DG plant files. It is listed as a RE. I planted it fall of '08 and it bloomed spring & fall '10. It is listed as a TB but perhaps because it gets some shade, it is more like an IB in my garden. It remains to be seem whether it will be a reliable RE or a once in my lifetime. I'm sure going to try to keep it happy. :-) Depending on how it grows this year, I would consider trading for another RE.

Oooooh goody!!! I just so happen to have a fine stand of *Feedback* -- which will need thinning next Summer. I posted a picture of it not long ago on one of these threads. If you're not familiar with it, I'll try to find it for you. :-D

oooohhhhh

Red Revival doesn't look like a rebloomer! It's beautiful! Up here in Zone 4, the rebloomers are smaller & some times deformed.
Thank you Peg!

I agree, IF there is a rebloom, it's usually just before a frost. Then it's off color and the buds dry up after cutting. Still looking good here ~

My rebloomer had great big beautiful full-colored flowers. And it bloomed prodigously -- twelve or thirteen stalks, with many many buds and blossoms. When we had a hard freeze a couple nights ago, I cut the last three stalks and brought them inside. They have continued to bloom indoors -- but with smaller blossoms. No different than my Spring bloomers!

I had another rebloomer bloom in the Summer -- Champagne Elegance. It wasn't as enthusiastic as Feedback, but did bloom nicely.

You know, I still think that's ROSALIE FIGGE. Here's the first picture I took of it, more in the shade.

Could be! :)

This is Bernice's Legacy picked today since the nights are getting nippy. It grew in a friend's garden -- grew a little crazy with 9 buds!

Very pretty!

That is very pretty! And blooms so late, too late for us, yesterday at 7am it was 20° here. I have a problem with TBI that have too many buds on one stem, if I don't get out there and remove the older flowers, the emerging buds won't open properly. I'd rather have fewer buds or longer stems. Chiffon Ruffles is one that will do that every time.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. Today I cut my last bouquet for the season ~ a bunch of tall snapdragons.

I took this photo yesterday. Only one stalk but it has six potential blooms. Looks like only three to four will open. No name tag..

Close up.

Looks like that FALL RERUN maybe blooming again...

Entirely different place. But you may be right. You know 10x more than I do.

It's difficult to tell from photos but does it look like Clarence? Clarence usually reblooms for me but not this year. See DG plant files:

I wish it did. The multi colored blue is beautiful. It is mostly solid lavender. I will try to get a better photo tomorrow.

My rebloomer, Honey Scoop

Such a soft coloring, I like to get close to view he details

Very lovely. Thanks for posting.

I love the closeups, it gets to the heart of a flower's beauty. I really like the coloring in Honey Scoop.

This is the same iris I posted several weeks ago. It has taken this long for the other bloom to open. Two more still on the bottom but we are getting a freeze tomorrow night. Probably will not make it.

Bring the stalk inside?

Autumn Wine has 2 stalks jumbled together. The first bloom opened today ------- finally.
