Hello, Linda,
My Mariposa Skies doesn't rebloom for me either, but I have a seedlinging
from it by Etherial Dream that bloomed from December till June last year.
It had only normal April bloom this year.  This year was not a good iris
year in my Southern Arizona garden.  We had months of extreme temperature
changes.  The irises couldn't figure out what season it was so many didn't
bloom at all.

I keep trying to figure out, from its pedigree, why TEA LEAVES is such a
strong "summer" (i.e., hot weather) rebloomer here.  Not prolific, but it
has bloomed more often in summer than anything else here other than
IMMORTALITY and BELVI QUEEN.

TL is Sky Hooks X Violet Classic.  VC is a 'summer' here, but what does SKY
HOOKS (Wedding Vow X Moon Mistress) have to contribute for rebloom in our
climate?  Does it come via WEDDING VOW from some of the pinks in its
background?

MARIPOSA SKIES ((Wedding Vow x Violet Miracle) X Glistening Icicle) doesn't
do well here, so no rebloom, but it is registered as a rebloomer.

No other rebloomers from WEDDING V listed in the online database.

Any of you know if WEDDING VOW produces other rebloomers in our climate? 
   Seedlings not introduced?

I wound up with 5 pods from (TEA LEAVES x CHAMPAGNE ELEGANCE) X (IMM x
CSONG) & with no rebloom from either parent, so am just pondering
possibilities...shall I start all 244 seeds?
