Dorothy questions:

There has been more discussion on "cold weather" rebloomers since this
posting.  I'm not sure I know what a "cold weather" rebloomer is, as opposed
to a "regular" rebloomer----?  Anyone care to contribute their definition?
 Are we referring to the few irises that have been reported to rebloom in
USDA Zone 3?  4?  5?  or ??  Examples?
Thanks,
