Let's try this again:
What are some rebloomers that bloom early enough in the fall (in a good
year) to open before hard freezes in the ?east? ?southeast?. Maybe
everybody list the top 10? Or top 11 - IMMORTALITY we know is on the
list.

Thanks for replying Shirlee, but like I said, I just bought it, and wish
it had SEASON or MONTH of rebloom as well as ZONE and STATE. For those
in better locations (near the Atlantic, or in protected spots, or in
mild winters) bloom in November may not be a problem, but here it can
easily get below 20o in November. I am having a hard time enjoying iris
bloom when I have to crawl under a tent to see them, tho I do have a
nice stinky bouquet indoors now. PINKNESS does NOT have a sweet smell
for indoors.
