{iris-talk] Rebloom: some highlights

Since a wise young lady said everything reblooms in California I thought I 
would just highlight the best Rebloomers for me.

Double Shot (Sutton) first bloom 3 months after planting last year. This year 
it started in March as one otthe earliest to bloom. Set bloom again in 
May,suffered "Summer Bloom" ( 25-50 buds on5+ branched stalks) in July and 
August but now back to normal blooms on normal stalks. Large blooms with 
crisp pattern.

Red Polish (Craig 67) a gift clump from harold Peters last  year I split into 
onto six Rz's 4 of which bloomed by years end. One of the earliest to bloom 
this year but didn't rebloom till late September. Currently has 24 different 
bloom stalks amongst the six clumps. Color is a unique Greyish Reddish 
something.

Cruise to Autumn (Lauer) One stalk in March followed by two more in April 
which set pods very easily.Two more stalks in May set "Bee" pods. Color is 
flowing yellows and oranges with a few blue highlights.

Grape Reprise (Moore) Late starter this first year in early May paused for a 
week then went into bloom from June till now with a couple of stalks still in 
bloom. I hope you growers in the SE try this one!

Coconut Ice (Blyth)  Started early so crossed both ways with rebloomer Betty 
Dunn
in April(all crosses took) Then got a bloom stalk in June and another in 
July. No fall rebloom so this may have just been extended bloom but gives me 
great hope for the seedlings.

Rasberry Frost (Sutton) Started VL in June but has kept pace with Double Shot 
ever since.

Hakuna Matata AB (Cadd) Higher bud count ( 7 or More) on rebloom than first 
bloom. Other reblooming AB's had a sronger Aril look but nowhere near the 
number of buds.

Cathy Campi, Stockton Ca. Zone 9b still 168 days without rain.
