Re: Reblooming irises

From: "Mark, Maureen" <MARKM@tc.gc.ca>

Charles, 

You're in luck.  The Reblooming check list has just been released.  It
costs  $13.00.  You can send a check to 

Charlie Brown
3114 S. FM 131
Denison, TX  75020-0724

He is also the secretary of the reblooming section of the AIS, so you
can send in your membership too.

My favourite source right now is Aitken's because I've ordered from them
several times with excellent results.  I have not tried many to date.
New sources for this year were Superstition Gardens, which I also highly
recommend and Ensata Gardens (order not received yet).  Next year, I
hope to add Sutton's to the list -- they have an excellent catalogue and
a long list of rebloomers that are classified into different categories,
e.g., reliable rebloom, early rebloom, repeat bloom.  Don and Ginny
Spoon keep a list that references the coldest zones in which the iris is
known to report.

While Immortality and Thrice Blessed are the only ones that have
rebloomed for me, I have high hopes for Clarence, Rosalie Figge, What
Again, Forever Blue, and Total Recall.
