Rosalie, that's exactly the same question I asked YOU (and Charlie Brown)
last year! LOL! Actually, I posted a whole set of rebloom-related
questions to iris-talk last year, among them the one you have asked
above. The general concensus among those who ventured replies is that
fall bloom can only be counted as rebloom IF the same clump bloomed
earlier in the same garden during that same growing season. An iris that
blooms in one garden in the spring then moves down the block or across
the country to bloom again that fall in a different garden does NOT count
as rebloom for either garden. Of course, I have no idea whether or not
this would be the "official" position of RIS, since there doesn't seem to
BE an "official" RIS position on many of the grey areas of rebloom.
By the way, was any of this discussed at the RIS board meeting at the
national convention this year? I forgot to get back to you after the
convention to see what had happened regarding all the questions I sent
you pre-convention.
