<<It should rebloom in colder climates if it can handle the winters.>>
Chuck, could you elaborate on this? What factors, currently known, lead you to believe that this iris should rebloom in colder climates?
As stated before, I really like this one. Based on what I know about the iris now, I couldn't make a definitive guess as to it's ability to bloom in Zone 6.

I do like the colouring on this. the white around beard adds interest to flower. With such a long bloom time, and it being a summer rebloomer certianly makes it worthy of introduction.
As to possible downsides, it may not do well in colder climates, but that would depend on parentage and of course trials in colder areas. It should rebloom in colder climates if it can handle the winters.
