 Watering  consistently , particularly if watering is in evening or night,
will reduce temperatures at  growing point, and   thus can provide a bud set
temperature. So  min outdoor temperature will be irrelevant in this case.

Watering will cool temperatures, as  water  is never heated before putting on
plants. And from source can be quite cool.
And evaporation of water  will also provide a cooling effect.

In this situation  it would be necessary to  have temperature taken just above
ground level in the garden.

I'm willing to bet that you then will find  the bud set temperatures of  below
72F.

Moisture and nutrition seem to have a much greater impact on rebloom here
because we can have heavy rebloom in mid July where average high temps are 97
degrees F. and lows are 75 degrees F.  As long as the iris have good water
supply and have good soil nutrition we will have rebloom from May through Sept
or Oct. depends on first frost.

Newer iris reblooming right now (even though we have had an *extremely* cool
spring/early summer):
Galadriel's Ring
Iron Eagle
Autumn Rain
Autumn Ring
Autumn Colors
Lest We Forget
Double Shot
Above The Rim
Edge Of The World
Twin Cities
Sunset Punch (third bloom cycle this year)
Older Iris:
Matrix
Saxon
Clarence
Harvest Of Memories.
