I planted some big bearded iris last fall. Bought them from Shreiner's Iris
Gardens. One of the plants, Swingtown, has begun to flower but the flowers
are growing from ground level rather than on a stalk! The leaves are normal
and the flowers appear normal otherwise.

Has anyone a clue what is going on?? All the rest of the bulbs have bloomed
normally.

Maybe they have gone crazy from all this weird weather?

Its your freaking plant. You tell us what demented thing you did to it.

I've had that happen one or two times during the blooming of my 300 iris, no
reson for it, it just happens.

Did the plants continue to bloom that way, or was it just a freak occurance?
I'd just as soon dig this one up if this is its permanent growth habit.

From what has happened in my iris garden, it's a one time deal, that is IF your
growing tbi's, now if you have boarder iris or the smaller ones, they don't grow
tall at all and do bloom low like that.

I had a Thornbird SAI who's first bloom was down like that, but the next stalk
grew nice and tall and had good flowers.
