Bill, any chance that you could post the 30 that you found would rebloom
in your latitude?
Were these 30 all able to rebloom in the southeast or were some only
rebloomers in the same latitude but with less rainfall? In other words,
was the compilation specific to the southeast or to the entire southern
US?
Have you charted all the pedigrees to see if there are some common
ancestors?

<Last year, Old South Iris Society compiled a list of irises registered
as rebloomers that actually did rebloom at our latitude. Immortality was
most often reported as having rebloom in 2001. Strangely (or maybe not)
it seems to enjoy neglect and ... is smothered in withering larkspur
foliage and bird planted poke salad (polk weed). Still, I fully expect
blooms...
Our "narrow band" latitude compilation identified 30 iris that actually
did produce rebloom among the hundreds so registered. We expect to
continue this compilation as an ongoing project.>
