Dear Angelo,
It just reminded me to contact you to report that the Iris bicapitata you
gave me a year ago has flowered last spring and is again in flower since
early Octobre . When I looked up your writing:
"Iris bicapitata is endemic of Gargano peninsula, the classic form is deep
violet, the stem is 40cm tall and carries two flowers very scented. Rare
individuals have other colors, in mixed combination of yellow, white, blue
but for the moment I haven't propagated them enought to trade. The unique
feature of this species is that is the only true reblooming bearded Iris I
have ever seen, it flowers in October November, till spring,"
It confirms this and might just go on flowering all winter !!This plant is
quite special.
Kind greetings
