Re: REB: fall cycle vs other

Photo posted 22 Aug 2006. Well before "typical" fall cycle rebloom. I consider Aug 'summer' here. 

Here's what I said about it then:
<I was astonished to see it put up a stalk.  It has been hot and dry all
summer.  I think I did soak it once with the garden hose, but temps have
been in the 90s for most of the summer.  We had a little rain this
weekend, but are still nearly 10 inches below annual average rainfall.>
During the drought, humidity was very low, so night time lows were probably lower than "normal", & it's possible there were some nights in the upper 60sF 6 weeks before (i.e., July). Chuck, I'm too cheap to buy the daily weather data from our local station.
<STAR GATE--Has not summer bloomed in my garden but has been reported to do so 
in Kansas & VA. Early for Linda in TN but I don't remember just when.  (Feed
Back x Violet Miracle) (SG is present in several of my summer blooming
seedlings)>
