Dennis,

I also have bloomstalks coming up from iris just planted this year.  One stalk
on Tanzanian Tangerine (Kasperek) and one on Dance for Joy (Byers).  I don't
know if they will be able to mature and bloom as we have already had frost
here in WI.  I had that happen last year....a very late bloom stalk came up on
newly planted Bountiful Harvest.  Try as I might to protect it, the blooms got
frozen.  This same iris did not
bloom for me this spring but has been in beautiful bloom for the last two
weeks with 3 absolutely perfect bloom stalks.  What a joy to behold!  I never
had much interest in rebloomers before but I think I will be on a "mission"
next year to get more.  Hope you get to see Low Ho Silver bloom before it
freezes.
