I would add that O & O bloomed so much last fall that it didn't have as much
left to bloom.  May not have had rhizomes as large.

Chuck,
The "Summer Rebloomer" are ready to go as soon as the temperatures warm up.
he early blooms were on my 'All Revved Up' (it can bloom from frost to frost)
nd 'Lunar Whitewash' followed by 'Matrix.'  Most seedlings showing hope for
ummer bloom were in this group also.
Fall cycle rebloomers depend on day length as a trigger.  The later ones
(this
pring) are primarily fall rebloomers or so I thought--'Again & Again,'
Tara's Choice,' Theme Master,' 'Vanishing Act' etc..  In 2006 this group
loomed before anything else.  (typically do)
'Summer Radiance' has often been my first spring bloom, but this year it was
ay behind the earlier ones.  'Star Gate' gave an early stalk, some middle
talks, and there are two more that don't even show color yet.  SG is
ypically later than the rest with spring bloom.
'Over & Over' has been among my most dependable rebloomers, often blooming in
he summer.  It bloomed with the middle group.  Renown was between ARU group
nd the Tara's Choice group.  About normal for Renown.

Linda has also noted this at times.  Most of these should be the summer
bloomers or as I call them the direct rebloomers.. they respond to a
mperature trigger. So most years are the first to bloom, but with differernt
ather  can sometimes be later. Make note of these as they should be the ones
u use for "Summer rebloom"  Has to do with going directly from bud set to
owerstalk.

he iris season has been weird here.
uring a typical spring season, most of the rebloomers begin in the first
ek
f iris season.)  This year, some of the "early birds" did not begin
ooming
til the second week and even later.
huck, is it possible that their bloom season is controlled by day length in
e spring as well as in the fall?  Thus they do not respond to an early
ason in the same way as the rest?
f not, is there another explanation?
