Tammy,
Monty Byers, who who collected rebloom reports extensively, had this to say
about VICTORIA FALLS in his 1990 catalog:
"This superb reblooming Dykes winner is really great! Reblooms all over the
country, here and there, now and then - you can't really count on it but it
can pop up a stalk just about anywhere - if it takes a notion! Did so for
the first time here last November and we've been growing it over ten years
now!"
I doubt that your stalk is in any danger of being frost-damaged in Santa
Rosa any time soon, but you might want to stake it as it gets taller, just
in case it decides it wants to lean over.

Where the last bud on the stalk of HER ROYAL HIGHNESS (Byers, '89) that has
been in bloom for over a month now looks like it will open even though it
is frost-burned around the edges.
