REB: TB: Anna Belle Babson? & corkscrew stalks

I suspect a mixup in labels, but have a bloomstalk on a plant labeled
ANNA BELLE BABSON.  I do have ABB and it is more or less where this
plant was growing (before I slapped it in a pot and brought it indoors
so I can see it bloom in spite of the freeze predicted).

I checked the archives and found a note in 1998 from Anner Whitehead
saying it was reported to rebloom in Oz and another note saying
Schreiner's catalog listed it as a rebloomer, but also notes from
others  (including John Jones) saying it was unlikely to rebloom in the
south in response to another person with mixed up labels.

Sooo, I will know soon enough, but am curious as to whether others have
seen it rebloom?

Also potted up a clump of NORTHWARD HO with one stalk finished blooming
and 4 more corkscrew stalks in bud, one clump of FEEDBACK with two
stalks, and another one I've mixed up the labels on.  I think this is a
Sutton intro, but will have to wait till it opens to figure out which
one.

This has been a bad (good?) season for corkscrew/gooseneck stalks here. 
The only unusual weather event was some fairly cold weather a few weeks
ago (40s F).  Would that be enough to do it?  Or maybe uneven drying in
the row after scanty rainfall?

flurries.  Good grief!  What happened to global warming?
