In 2005 ‘Raspberry Wine” won an Honorable Mention award from the American Iris Society. Oddly enough, I couldn’t find ‘Raspberry Wine’ in Schreiner’s Iris Gardens<\/a> online catalog just now, even though they developed this iris. It is available from Rainbow Iris Farm<\/a> in Iowa. Dateline: 2003-04-27<\/strong> ‘Raspberry Wine’ bloomed with a pretty shape and color, but has not proven vigorous here in central Texas…yet. In the two years that I planted it, it only bloomed this second year. The rhizome divided, but one half rotted, so I’m currently left with a small rhizome. This fall I’m going to move it to the front iris bed in hopes that it’ll do better there. 2007-04-20. Of course, I never got around to moving it.<\/i><\/p>\n Dateline: 2003-08-12<\/strong> Dateline: 2004-04-30<\/strong> Dateline: 2006-09-13<\/strong> Dateline: 2007-04-20<\/strong>

\nPlanted.<\/p>\n
\nFirst flower ever. A very nice reddish purple that looks really good next to the golden yellows of the heirloom irises. The flower is a bit small, on small plants; but this is probably because it is blooming so late and it’s been very dry all month.<\/p>\n
\nTwo rhizomes have rotted and one medium one is left in front of the transplanted ‘Thriller’.<\/p>\n
\nFirst flower.<\/p>\n
\nDug up the bed that had various named bearded irises. Tree roots had made it very dry and cloddy. Amended with half a bag of Texas hardwood mulch and as much sifted compost. Dug in Bulb Booster. After soaking in bleach solution replanted remaining small rhizomes with roots. From left to right, possibly these. Unable to tell: Raspberry Wine, Incantation, Jazzed Up.<\/p>\n
\nFirst flower. The actual first bud on the stalk blasted but the second bud started opening yesterday (4\/19) and was completely open by today. There might be a third small flower on the stalk. The stalk is only about 24 inches tall and leaning desperately toward sunlight. The rhizome is still medium.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"photo:](\"http:\/\/www.zanthan.com\/gardens\/photos\/320\/iris_RaspberryWine1.jpg\")
