I believe that, at least in CA., Maryott's PURE AS GOLD fits the
description of #7, How does this Iris grow for other people out there?
As for a #6, I am tentatively suggesting Byer's WINTERLAND as it seems
to be reliable for bloom in late JUNE after possible early Spring bloom which
for us is April to early May, it has not bloomed in the fall for me yet though.

classified as a once-bloomer since each rhizome blooms but once with the

shooting up fans and blooms stalks perform until first hard freeze

See comment on number 6.
6. A sixth type, likewise a genuine rebloomer, blooms with the
earliest, matures side increases with great rapidity, has a second
full reblooming period in the middle of the summer, and matures its
side increases and goes into a complete third cycle in September
and October.
7. A seventh type, and one which most nearly approaches the
everbloomer that we have, is the iris which constantly matures
increase, sending up bloomstalks whenever the rhizome has matured
sufficiently.
