TB:REBLOOM: seasonality

From: Linda Mann <lmann@icx.net>

Thanks for the note about PINKNESS usually reblooming late.  I bought
the rebloom Checklist and now wish it had not only a tabulation of
states and zones where cultivars rebloom, but the month(s) in which they
have rebloomed.

I have been trying to keep track of posts of rebloomers that seem to be
inclined to bloom well before winter starts, but don't have much.

What are some TB/IB rebloomers that usually bloom earlier?  Assuming it
rains and 'things' are otherwise go.  I know of IMMORTALITY, QUEEN
DOROTHY, GOLDEN ENCORE, SUMMER HOLIDAYS, SUMMER OLYMPICS, LADY EMMA, and
at least for me HARVEST OF MEMORIES.  How about BELVI was it CLOUD? 
Sounds like URIAH THE HITTITE is a late one. :>)

CLARENCE has not enjoyed the summer and tho it has reasonably good
growth and increase, has not chosen to bloom here this year (its second
fall).   (can you see the spade poised and hear the threats?)  Nor has
VIOLET MIRACLE.  Nor have BUCKWHEAT, and several others.  I fear that
some of these require more hospitable conditions than I can provide even
with extra water, weeding, alfalfa, and sieving out rocks.  Any
suggestions for jolting these guys into bloom?  They may be getting the
enthusiasm frozen out of them in the spring, then not having adequate
growing conditions in the summer to get ready.

around 20o last night. brrr.  frost already on the windshield around 8
pm.  I cut stalks yesterday morning, covered the bed with Reemay just in
case some of the late sulkers still manage to bloom.
getting a big laugh out of the sshhhh SPAM going around for everybody to
wear monkey suits when John Glenn comes back from space.
