Re:REB: daylight independent rebloom

  Forever Blue. Blueberry Tart etc, will bloom very early in SDB seasnon, and continue blooming for quite awhile, almost until end of TB bloom. They then take a week break, and then start up again and rebloom sporatically until heavy frost. 
 
 I have not seen this kind of rebloom in any TBs. I had thought that perhaps Immortality was of this ilk, but when crossed with FB, there was no rebloom in any of the seedlings. I have seen some early blooming TBs and heard of early bloom, as July or Aug in other areas, but in these locals, TB bloom probably ended in May, so thus at least two months after spring bloom.
 
 I suspect there is several types of rebloom.
 
 In old literature there are accounts of almost continuous bloom in Iris chamiris (sp?) which is a dwarf iris.
 
 I have found aphylla in background of FB and in What Again, on both sides of parentage.
