	My habit of skimming all iris-l posts (even when they deal with
	rebloomers) finally paid off...I caught a glimpse of Zone 3 (what
	is a half a zone? is this 3b? must be).

	Interesting about a rebloomer trying to bloom and rotting in the
	Spring.

	I'd like to see one of my known rebloomers try that here in Zone
	3a....maybe IMMORTALITY or CLARENCE....it would be worth losing
	some plants just to see a bud or two in the Fall....:-((

	Up to my knees in snow but balmy for here - almost reached 20 degrees
	F. today,
