Re: USDA Zone Comparisons & Rebloom Status

Betty  --  J&P puts me in zone 6b, whereas their map shows me well within 7.
The USDA map at http://216.110.177.12/pdfs/USDA_Map_3.03.pdf shows me very
"comfortably" within zone 7.  This tallies with the fact that my garden is,
like yours, virtually bloomed out by the time of our C&P show  --  most of
our members being in zone 6.   For this reason, I also exhibit 50 miles
south, where the Fredericksburg Area Iris Society show is held a week
earlier. --  Griff
