Unseasonably warm daytime temperatures led to December median bearded iris rebloom in Metro Richmond. My North Chesterfield display planting at BP Market (9200 Midlothian Turnpike) in South Richmond saw flowering on intermediate and standard dwarf bearded selections from mid-December until a snowstorm and bitter cold on January 3rd<\/sup>. An amazing sight to see bloom during the Christmas holidays.<\/p>\n

Due to dry soil conditions in late summer and early fall during 2021, flower bud development was delayed. Warm daytime temperatures in late November set the stage\u00a0for the December flower parade on medians in the BP planting.<\/p>\n

Spring bloom on the \u201clittle guys\u201d usually occurs at the Midlothian Turnpike location during the final week in March. A complete surprise was finding an open flower on\u00a0 Lockatell SDB 21620-01Re <\/strong>at BP Market on March 5th<\/sup>. A bloom was found the very next day on SDB Re Baby Blessed <\/strong>(Zurbrigg, 1979) in a 4\u201d pot residing on my gravel\u00a0driveway. Wow!!<\/p>\n

Lockatell SDB Re 21620-01Re<\/strong> had another bud on the same bloomstalk getting ready\u00a0to open on March 14th<\/sup>. Temperatures the following morning dipped into the high twenties to destroy any chance for flowering. Developing bloomstalks were found on SDB Teagen <\/strong>(D. Spoon, 2009), Baby Blessed <\/strong>and Sailboat Bay <\/strong>(Zurbrigg, 2004) at the\u00a0same time. These buds however aborted due to the cold. It would have been great fun to\u00a0see bloom and collect pollen for\u00a0 possible cross pollinations.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>A walk through the potted irises on my driveway found Lockatell SDB 21620-01Re <\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>flowering in a shallow two-quart pot on March 22nd<\/sup>. The yellow with maroon thumbprint on each fall had somehow managed to withstood recent cold to flower. \u201cHooray.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though some early standard dwarf bearded iris bloom has been lost, the good news is the rebloom trait allows the gardener a second chance to see flowering in the same growing season. It is never an \u201call or nothing\u201d proposition with these valuable plants. Color diversity and patterning is still an issue, but fall flowering is always a nice alternative to brown tree leaves.<\/p>\n
