Linda, I am not surprised. Unless you really are into
rebloomers, folks feel that the extra 'work' involved (reports,
photos sent, etc.) isn't worth it. Especially in the frigid
northeast.
There are plenty of reblooming enthusiasts in Virginia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Friendship Gardens in
Gettysburg, PA is a reblooming heaven. It was a tour garden at
the 2001 AIS convention. My husband and I came upon Lloyd
Zurbrigg examining (evaluating ?) his seedlings and he gave us a
little lesson in irises, etc. That and seeing Carol Warner's
garden was the high point of that convention for me.
