Double Shot really did well the first couple of years that I had  it. At one 
point, my granddaughter declared it her favorite iris!   When I moved here it 
made a big difference.  Two different locations and I  didn't even get spring 
bloom on it this year.  Most of my own rebloomers  are happy here, but DS and 
others are definitely not thrilled.  
 
Summertime Waltz really impressed me with the one stalk last fall.  I  posted 
it here.  But then there was no spring bloom (when I cross) and  nothing 
since then.  
 
There were several reselect but non-reblooming (yet) seedlings from Chinese  
New Year X Theme Master.  I Love Mike Sutton's Snow Melt and crossed  it to 
one of these bitone blue seedlings.  This was a cross I couldn't  resist.  
 
Several of Spoon's rebloomers are really giving a nice fall  performance.  
Daughter of Stars is making up for lost time with at  least 4 stalks.  I think 
I'm becoming a fan!   Love Goes On  bloomed for weeks on one stalk . . . one 
bloom at a time.  Liquid Amber has  3 stalks, Zee isn't as dark as I expected 
but it is really throwing up the  stalks, & Lilla has a stalk.  
 
I have 2 stalks on Recurring Ruffles which I've not seen before.   This is a 
Hager iris, but it looks VERY happy here.  Have you (or anyone  else) seen it 
bloom?
