Hi Sterling
In response to your questions about reblooming SA iris:
Scented Bubbles is top notch, but seldom reblooms. Dance for Joy gives us
good rebloom. Good Fairy is nice in the spring but does not rebloom every
year. Second Show doesn't always have horns on its rebloom stalks.
Starship hasn't done well here. Shoot the Moon has inconsistent appendages,
but it is bright. Rock Star is great and reblooms early every year. Gilded
is ok but not my favorite color. Doublemint reblooms faithfully, but
doesn't have horns all the time. Mesmerizer is always blooming here; we
have to dig it and replant or it will bloom out!
I'm not sure of Lloyd's or ours, except we have received many reports of
Honey Scoop reblooming. It does for us too, but with short horns instead of
its scoops. We've also had a report of Three Seasons reblooming in Idaho,
and Golden Immortal won a fall rebloomer show in Maryland this past fall.
We do have some SAs that rebloom in the seedpatch, most of them out of
Stingray.
Hope this is of some help.
George
