This lovely bearded iris was spotted blooming on Nov. 6 in a protected corner between the Weed-Enders and the Abijah Rowe houses at the Salmon Brook Historical Society. In Connecticut, most bearded irises bloom in May or early June, however, some cultivars are known as “reblooming irises.” These can produce a second flush of flowers in late summer or fall if the weather stays mild.
