I'll make up a list.  1625-1Re this one always starts late July or  early 
August. (Star Gate X (Violet Returns x Breakers)  Star Gate is  Feed Back x 
Violet Miracle.  It has a sibling with great substance and  better form but it 
blooms in October.  The sib froze back this  year just before it started showing 
color.  Several stalks bloomed on  1625-1Re, but I 'd never introduce it except 
maybe as a hybridizer's iris.   Form isn't good enough for a purple iris.  I 
have used it in breeding,  seedlings to bloom in the spring. 
 
All Revved Up (Wilkerson 2006) starts blooming in July most years and is  
Innocent Star x Radiant Bliss.  And Echo Location (Wilkerson 2007) is  Innocent 
Star x Rebound.  Can bloom in July & August but not as  reliable as All Revved 
Up.  Loads of bloom in the fall.  
 
1907(Blatant x All Revved Up) produced 8 rebloomers and 4 bloomed in  July.  
Hard to say how much they will bloom since this is the first year  and I can't 
get a good idea of what the potential is without more stock.   (seed in pots 
from 1907-4Re x Renown)
 
Three seedlings from the 1812 cross-second planting (2005) started blooming  
in late June and then in July.  One of them has several stalks again now  that 
have frozen.  1812 is Lemon Reflection x All Revved Up.  I've  bloomed nearly 
150 from this cross and the more ruffled ones tend not to be the  ones that 
rebloom, but I've got one that matched up.  I have sibling  crosses from this 
but I feel more coming on as I get to know them better.   You may remember that 
50 of these put up stalks the first fall (2004).  I  got to see 30 of them 
before the freeze.  
 
1810 has produced over 10 rebloomers, four bloomed in July and four in  
August.  It also gave 2 repeat bloomers.   1810:1605-1:9415-1Re(((Victoria Falls x 
Vanity) x Immortality) x (Latest Style x  Glistening Icicle))) x (Feed Back x 
Champagne Elegance) X Light Rebuff 
 
(Latest Style x Glistening Icicle) was introduced this year as Love  Lines.  
Great garden iris once established.  Can throw whopper show  stalks.  
Prettiest in hot weather.  
 
1703-3re was the white this July.  It is (Edith Wolford x (Silverado x  Latin 
Lady)) X ((Immortality x Beau Zam) x (Immortality x Pledge Alligance))  Both 
parents were white.  
 
I'll check for others later.
