It should be a great show when it happens though! I have 4 bloom stalks coming on Daring Deception, and it's only it's second season. My SDB's aren't even done blooming yet. Cat's Eyes must have 20 bloom stalks coming out, should be nice if they all bloom at once.

...and we will all get to see the phoh-tohs!!!! Especially important for those of us whose bloom season is but a distant dream.

Of course Debra! I've been drooling over everyone's pics all spring, so I'll be glad to share mine when I can get them.

I went out and counted, and Cat's Eyes has 32 bloom stalks, and I divided it last year!

Well, you did a crappy job! (or are you going to conveniently blame the sun glass wearing chickens you employ) Hmmm.... Rolling on the floor laughing

I think the chickens perhaps spent too much time hanging out by it and gave it too much of their super organic instant compost! Rolling my eyes.

forty degrees here and drippy. expecting periodic thunderstorms this afternoon. I still have two irises that have bloom stalks but they seem to be stalled. I would be too if I had to sit out in that.
