ARIL REVERIE has rebloomed for some, but not for me.  It's a 
quarterbred by Walter Moores.  My irises sure don't increase as 
vigorously as yours.  In a way that's good, because I don't have to 
dig & divide as often, I guess.  As for cold climates, I think that's 
not so much the problem as the hot, wet, humid summers that we can 
have up here.  Also if the spring freeze/thaw - freeze/thaw cycling 
is particularly rough then the arilbreds can suffer.  I've started 
planting them deeper which seems to help on both accounts (summer & 
spring).
