Laurie, this is one I am also quite taken with. Because of our
spring frosts the "normal" spring bloom froze, then in July every one
of the mature increses sent up stalks--not strictly "re" bloom, but
certainly a welcome out-of-season blooming. Since this is only a one-
year plant I hoped it was not a bloom out. Happily, a host of new
increses showed up shortly. The ancestry on this one is complex and
interesting. Looks like fun to work with in crosses.
Thanks for posting the good pictures of it.

Impatiens are STILL blooming--no frost yet in the warmer parts of the
garden.
