I thought this might be a worth a mention.  I just had a visit to the 
Reblooming Iris Society web site and noticed a picture in the gallery that 
is misidentified, and am curious if this would have an affect on the list 
of rebloomers recorded there.

The Iris shown as 'Eleanor Roosevelt' is really 'Susa'.  I don't remember 
if 'Susa' is a rebloomer, but it wouldn't surprise me much, since several 
of that basic type are.  It is very easy to tell from 'Eleanor Roosevelt' 
due to the strong thick veining on either side of the beard of the falls 
(which is barely evident in 'Eleanor Roosevelt').  'Eleanor Roosevelt' is 
one of the few Iris I grow that is a totally reliable to rebloom every 
year, at least somewhere in the yard, even with my abusive care and in our 
New Mexico climate and soil.  It is a hard one to kill here. 

I haven't grown 'Susa' long, and have had trouble with rot in the summer 
on it, but I seem to be past the initial problems and I have a good clump 
going now.  Hopefully I'll see within a few years if it will rebloom here.
