Rebloomers

Hello from Colorado, all:

I've been lurking here in the background for several days, enjoying all 
the chat about shows & whatnot. Have never been to a flower show of ANY 
kind -- what a delight it would be to do so, I think. Some day... At 
least I heigh myself down to Denver Botanic 4-5 times a year, so I'm not 
a totally deprived (depraved?) person.

Have a question for y'all -- as you may recall, I planted my first 
"rebloomers" last year & the SDB's have been blooming well for me, TB's 
nicely budded out. The nursery tip-sheet I got with the rz says: "do not 
break off the sockets or the stalk at bloom completion as is done with 
oncers. Rebloomers...tend to rebloom from the same sockets..."

The stalk I'm sure off -- would someone like to tell just what the 
socket is? I've deadheaded the few SDB's blooms that have wilted to date 
by just pulling the bloom itself straight up & off -- does this sound 
right?

Special to Donald Mosser -- you're sure right about Jewel Baby! It got 
its 1st bloom on 5/28 & has more blooms now! It's a dandy. Can't imagine 
any iris blooming from March thru May, tho it's an appealing image.
