Although all I grow these days is rebloomers (with a few exceptions), EARL
OF ESSEX is my only iris trying for rebloom so far this year. It's got two
fat stalks up, three buds on one, four on the other. And that's after the
drought-then-drown weather this summer. I've had a big problem with rot the
past three weeks, so much so that many standbys like ELEANOR ROOSEVELT and
QUEEN IN CALICO (my favorite, tho not a rebloomer) are down to bare
half-rhizomes with a single inch-tall increase. I've been out there with
Comet and a scraper, so we'll see.

sale are REAL happy in the mud, but everything else is sulking in the rain)

I seem to say that a lot <grin> - NORTHWARD HO has sent up another stalk
even taller than the one it managed during the peak of the drought and
heat. PERFUME COUNTER and HARVEST OF MEMORIES also have fat stalks just
starting. Nothing else showing signs of rebloom and it's getting late
to bloom before frost.
What do all these cultivars have in common? speaking of disease
resistance and plain ol tough irises. All these years I have grown PC
without knowing it would rebloom if I watered it and got it out from
under the fescue. tch tch.
