Iris unguicularis

That sounds like a low count to me, Jim. I guess it depends on your clump
size, but mine produce between 80- 100 or more in a season.

Has anyone seen data which gives the number of blooms produced by a clump
(technical term, right?) of Iris unguicularis during its blooming season?
I have not counted mine yet, but last year it must have produced at least
two dozen flowers spread out over a period of a bit more than four months.
I was not keeping track of this earlier, but on the basis of what I
remember
my plant has so produced about twelve flowers since it started in
November.
It keeps pumping out the flowers!
Its relative Iris lazica, which enjoys a cushier life in the protected
cold
frame, has yet to bloom here (ever).
