Walter, I don't see it as a "guarantee" of rebloom; however, I do see it as
indication it "may" or even "probably will" rebloom. IMHO. The first bloom I
saw on Bridge In Time was a fall bloom . . . a late fall bloom at that. It
opened with extremely heavy lace and substance, and these things do not
express themselves in the warmer weather--spring or otherwise. The same is
true for RETURNING CHAMELEON & REBOUND--fall bloom first.
You can't really count on maiden bloom to be true in any way, including
rebloom. I've had another reminder of this phenomena myself. When my fall
blooming iris opened this year, it's a deep purple with a purple beard, but
it no longer has that silvered wash that it had last year. Still pretty but
not as striking.
