Reblooming irises

From: Charles Bunge <BUNGE@macc.wisc.edu>

Hello, list members,
I am new to this list and relatively new to iris growing.  I am in Wisconsin and
had lovely irises this spring, although they bloomed about 2 weeks ahead of the
last couple of years.  I am ready to plant some new irises, and I want to try
more rebloomers.  I have only one reblooming variety, Isle ah Cundee.  Right
now, it is blooming beautifully (again, a couple of weeks or more earlier than
last year).  My question for list members is this:  Is there a list of
reblooming irises, even one for the upper Midwest?  Also, do you have a favorite
source of irises?
 
Another question I have is about leaf spot.  This year seemed particularly bad
for that.  I had lots of brown leaves, caused, I think by fungal leaf spot.  Do
any of you have a good way of controlling that.  I am real careful to keep the
bed clean, but to little avail this summer.
 
Thanks for any information you can provide.  Happy gardening!  Charles Bunge.
