REB: official rebloom

From:	dkramb@tso.cin.ix.net (Dennis Kramb)

While working outside in my older iris patch today I found some legitimate
Zone-6 rebloom stalks on the following cultivars:  SPARK PLUG, LADY ESSEX,
and embarassingly I found an expired bloom on JEWEL BABY.  Half of the
clump was underneath a big bushy Achillea (yarrow) and I never saw it!  How
frustrating!

Yarrow is already on the top of my hitlist for being so ^*#@$^*& invasive,
and now I have another grudge against it!

(For the record, I now have rebloom stalks/buds on SPARK PLUG, LADY ESSEX,
PETKIN, STINGRAY, and LITTLE SHOWOFF, though those last 3 were just added
to the garden this year and consequently don't count as rebloom, IMHO.  I
will try to get them all to bloom in December.  Forecast is for 70 deg F
tomorrow!)
