I need some ID help on this
I got surprised today while getting flower photos. A couple of plants I got in last season as clausa normalis are full of branched scapes. This is also awfully late for clausa normalis to flower.
The second plant

Re: I need some ID help on this
I'll post some pictures of the real thing once I'm @ my home computer again, but clausa var. normalis flowers are much darker in color and NOT branched. Leaf seems a smidgen too wide as well and it doesn't appear to exhibit the rhizomatous nature of subject plant either. There are 4 species on Don's Branch-scaped list with tardiflora the most likely candidate.
Re: I need some ID help on this
Thanks Pieter. It's the wrong leaf for tardiflora - I already grow that. Hopefully I'll figure it out when the flowers open.
The worse case would be clausa with branches.
(The baskets are to keep the critters off - I already lost a 'Yoshinogawa' scape.)

Re: I need some ID help on this
This will give you an idea of how rhizomatous it is.. look at the drain holes....
And here's what the flowers look like...
Re: I need some ID help on this
Well the flowers opened today and I found out my garden map was wrong. What I got in was tibae and not clausa normalis. My mistake.
The really good part is these two are branching - I have had a tibae in the garden for years and it has never branched (defective?). They have the same flower.
And the first flower on the second plant gave me a bonus - it has seven petals.

Nice pattern to the flower, Ed!
