  Ah, you were looking for everblooming perfection, perhaps?  Well, since 
  everything is possible with a mythical magic wand . . . dream on!  It's your 
  call.  However, in my region summer bloom is not something I desire.  The 
  weather is too hot, the stalks tend to be short, and the heat decimates the 
  blooms quickly.

  <<<Hard to imagine any of them in this balmy November/December post-killing 
  freeze landscape.>>>  

  Was that why the list slowed to less than a crawl?  Everyone was frozen in 
  place along with their irises?  I thought everyone ate too much Thanksgiving 
  Turkey and couldn't crawl to their computers!  Or that everyone might be 
  Christmas shopping!  Ho!  Ho! Ho!  

  Betty from BG KY USA Zone 6         This question/challenge sprang from 
  memories of my own original hybridizing goal which was to turn all of my 
  favorite irises into rebloomers and my own understanding that everyone 
  doesn't like the same things in irises.  Although I have no "high 
  expectations" at this point, I will take anything nice that choses to bloom, 
  and hopefully rebloom, in my garden.
