There are quite a few. Just browse throw checklist.  Yes some may 
occasionally rebloom in  a zone 8 garden.

This is yet another class of rebloom that I've not seen before. (or 
heard of) What are some of the CA rebloomers that never rebloom in 
other climates? 

I've had Pure As Gold, October Sky, Lord of Rings and others bloom in 
my (one of the most difficult) garden during mild years.  My 
understanding of "sporadic."  

&lt;&lt;The California rebloomers are not iris that rebloom in extended 
warm climates like California, but iris that rebloom ONLY in warm 
extended seasons such as California, and nowhere else.&gt;&gt;

they wont get rebloomers. But that the California rebloomers will not 
add anything   from their rebloom genes  to the potential to rebloom in 
climates  other then the warm climates like southern California.Chuck

I'm curious - you've mentioned several times here and on FaceBook that 
several people have tried crossing 'California' (west coast,Oz) 
rebloomers with cold hardy rebloomers and with no success in 
gettingrebloom.  I think that's what you've been saying, that the 
rebloomgenetics are different.But isn't that what most/all of Byers 
introduced rebloomers were?  Andsome of us (Betty, me, Mary Lou) seem 
to be getting occasional 'summer'(early fall - August) rebloom from 
'sporadic'/west coast rebloomers.Mary Lou has posted one on Face Book 
that's bloomed   April, May, July,August and October. 10-511ARE: 
((Tomorrow's Child x Feed Back) early REX Decadence).  In Illinois (or 
maybe she's in Indiana - I get those two"I" states mixed up...)So I'm 
curious who those breeders were, what they tried to use and whatclimate 
they were in?Have you tried to grow any of Byers introductions?  Seems 
like Iremember your posting  some of them.  Are any of them 
'early'/summerbloomers in your climate?  Have you made any crosses with 
them?The more I look at pedigrees of some of these things, the more 
baffled Iam.  Lurking recessives?  Doubled up gametes? Warmer 
temperaturetriggers that dont' get triggered wherever those folks you 
were talkingabout were growing their seedlings?Curious if you have any 
new thoughts about the warm weather/earlyrebloom genetics.Linda
