Re: HYB:Summer and late fall bloom

Hi Loïc, Altho' my husband, Sven, was born in the USA, he was raised in Holland until age 17 when he returned back to the USA. When we receive mail from Holland it appears that it is always raining! This would be gtom Noord Holland, in Haarlem. Is it a wetter climate there then where you are?

Here attached is the average rainfall in mm per month in Holland, that i miraculously found on internet!
(180 mm = 7")
 
As you can see, it was perfect this summer to trigger rebloom!
 
 
 
Spring was SO dry i had to water a lot in april and may.
There was not much rain this october, but the dew is very very wet close to the river
 
 
 Couldn't find anything on day and night temperatures yet.
 
Will keep you posted if i find anything.

This is the list of the irises that rebloomed here for me this year, before frost hit.
Loic,  What fun indeed!  Your garden was enchanted!  These have all been entered into my data base! 
 
Questions! 
 
1) Did you irrigate?
2) What were your average temperatures?  Day and night . . . as best you can. 
3) Zone? 
 
Sounds like our fall of 2004.
