Thanks for this info. Betty. Could you give me a list of 'cycle' rebloomers,
or has this been done to death previously. (I rather hope Mesmeriser is on
that list.)

It would be silly of me to try and use sporadic rebloomers to produce
rebloomer seedlings, if they are not going to rebloom here.
Ann Pierce is right in suggesting I plant my rebloomers together and water
them over the summer. I have ample water, I just don't consider I have the
right, as a conservation minded citizen, to splash it around even if I pay
for it.
I also found that those irises which didn't get watered fared much better
than those that did. I had more than my share of rot, from humidity, last
summer.
I have had HARVEST OF MEMORIES for only a short time, but I have great faith
in it's ability to rebloom. Baby Blessed probably won't let me down either.
(Thanks Lloyd :-)
Cheers, Jan Clark
