Walter, I was not saying that you should REPORT it as anything--only 
that you could NOT report it as rebloom in your area since the bloom did not 
"set" there.  People should NEVER report rebloom in their area when the iris 
was shipped from another region or area during that bloom season.  Since we 
only report rebloom from our areas, it would not be reported at all. 

If I went on a trip to California to see the rebloom fields, I would tell 
others of what I'd seen, and some might consider that a report.  I would not. 
 However, there would be those that would pass on the fact that a particular 
iris rebloomed in California.  It might even wind up on the Check List.  AND 
it would be the truth.  (I also think that I could report CA rebloom IF I saw 
it myself and be okay)  Just my opinion.  

I corresponded with Monty Byers.  He added my rebloom reports, though 
unofficial, to his data base which made it's way into the Check List.  He did 
not see INFERNO rebloom in KY, but I did.  He made the report. I made the 
crosses.  LOL
