-- BobPries - 2011-03-07 Of the three specimens of "Jerry's Boutonnier" that I have, and my observations of several more plants in various locations (TN, TX, ILL), "Jerry's Boutonniere" does not have PBF.

The leaves are narrow (1.3 cm -1.7 cm) even at the base. Looking similar to a SIB.

Bloom time in Knoxville, TN in 2024 is expected to be around 2024/05/18-21. Previous bloom was observed (full open) on 2023/11/12 indicating that this plant is, perhaps, a rebloomer.

This being the first time blooming for this iris on non-mature clumps, only two terminal buds were observed on the "zig-zag" stalk in 2023. No branching was observed. The bloom stalk in 2024 does not exhibit the "zig-zag" form but does appear to have a branch forming. Maximum number of buds observed on a stalk has been three (3). -- WikiGuest - 08 May 2024
