Hello John,
Poem of Ecstasy hasn't rebloomed for us but I have been treating it as a reblooming parent. It has Mother Earth in the background so rebloom isn't a suprise.

Enjoying the much cooler weather today, only supposed to hit 98

Considering the hot weather (95-degrees), it is taking longer than I
expected for a couple of rebloom stalks on Poem of Ecstasy (first year in my
garden) to develop. They just keep branching out, instead. Both stalks are
nice; the first one will have 8 blooming points (so probably 12-20 buds).
Don't know if it always reblooms, but I did get spring bloom as well. This
is a remarkably high-quality iris for a rebloomer, very good form and
substance. I've been growing iris for about 13 years now; when I first
started this color pattern was represented by Heather Blush, Heather Cloud,
I remember Top Gun coming out, I'm sure there were plenty of others, but I
didn't see anything like the selection of really modern pink/lavender
bicolors I see now. I have 8 or 10 of the latest from top hybridizers; this
is clearly the best in its class for me. I say "for me" because certainly
there will always be a few I have missed, and because what does well for me
may not do as well for someone else.
