<<So, Betty, would you consider this rebloom???  Pretty  quick cycle from 
Jan 10 to March 20, tho I guess I shouldn't count it as  blooming just 
yet <g>>>  
 
Linda, I'd just enjoy it!  <vbg>  It's already established  as a rebloomer, 
for the sake of classification.  
 
Richard Richards (CA) reports everything that doesn't bloom in regular  bloom 
season as rebloom stalks.  My take on this one is that since it's  been 
artificially maneuvered, it probably would have bloomed during your  regular bloom 
season!  Or maybe it's a very LATE fall bloom?  You're  about a month from the 
start of regular TB bloom?  
 
In the early years of my obsession, I'd walk the rows and look for  evidence 
of early bloom stalks.  For years, I'd find the first  indication of a stalk 
on April 1 in Gold Burst.  I've not grown Gold  Burst for years and I've quit 
looking for early  indicators.  
 
I will admit that I automatically look at the center fans for the  'hook.'  
Especially, with the seedlings and any new irises I want to use  for breeding. 
(1st year)  But, by the time they bloom I forget which ones  had the hooks.  
I'm seeing a lot of indication of bloom in those Vanishing  Act X Night Game 
seedlings.  Unless the freeze over the weekend ruined  them.
