Re: TB - PBF

Hi Rosalie,

Are you talking about the beardless iris cross, GERALD DARBY?  I'll have 
to try to get my hands on a piece of that one.

>I always note (or try to) what irises have pbf when I plant

That's exactly why I put together my PBF list - to assist with 
identification.

>REBLOOMERS - of course, for me!

The only SDB I've had rebloom for me so far up here is WHAT AGAIN, which 
I absolutely love!  I enjoyed LITTLE SHOWOFF immensely last summer, but 
it didn't appreciate being transplanted, and I seem to have lost it now.  
JEWEL BABY has been struggling in my garden for several years.  It just 
doesn't seem to be quite tough enough to hack it here, though I hear it 
does beautifully most other places.  Have you tried CAUTION SIGN, 
Rosalie?  I understand it can rebloom in some climates, but it doesn't 
here.  It sure is an early and generous bloomer, though, and a very 
vigorous grower!

Laurie
