I live on the central coast of California where it is unusual to get a
freeze in the winter. I have been "playing" with these reblooming seedlings
for many years now. I originally got the seeds from a mail order company
10-12 years ago. They were identified as Higo hybrids. These were the first
iris seeds that I tried to grow so parentage wasn't that important at the
time. This was a couple of years before I joined the Iris society. What
happens is that I get blooms at the regular time for around here which is
around July, then in mid to late august they begin to rebloom and continue
until November or December. I just cut bloom stalk Friday to bring to our
local meeting. I am the only one around here who grows JI so I don't have
much info. I have given a couple of the society members rhizomes from the
rebloomers and they say that the plants just keep putting up bloom stalks.
