TB:rebloomers

My Champagne Elegance are "reblooming".  The reason I have it in quotes, is
because the offspring rhizomes did not bloom this spring after being replanted
last year.  Yet, the rhizomes that had been planted a year earlier did bloom
this spring, but are not re-blooming.  I am very suprised with this because of
our short summer here in Wisconsin.

I also have to make a comment about potting newly arrived rhizomes.  I am like
Ellen, mine usually lay someplace until I get to putting them in the garden.
Two years ago while we were having our house built, I had about 40 rhizomes
that sat in their Shreiner's boxes the whole year until we moved in and I
could get the garden ready.  They were in a cool, dark place, but amazingly
they survived, bloomed and multiplied!!!  It seems that if I cater to them too
much, they don't do as well.  At least, that is my philosophy......
