Chuck, the seedling is Iris variegata(Beardsley) x mellita. But 
neither the variegata nor the mellita (which is now deceased) has 
ever rebloomed for me. I'm sort of in a zone 6 / zone 7 area in 
Maryland. Do you think that it may be too warm for the variegatas to 
rebloom here? The Beardsley clone is supposed to rebloom somewhere; 
and another clone I have (Cook) is supposed to be very similar and 
may rebloom. I've grown them for four years with not a single rebloom 
stalk. What is the timing of the rebloom for your variegatas? Do they 
bloom spring and fall, or more continuous? And do you get rebloom 
from any other bearded species (especially diploids)?
