Glad to hear of rebloom on EARL OF ESSEX. It has been a very tough year for
rebloom, - - for growth in general. I have noted at our Region 4 Fall
Shows, that over half the iris exhibited are either mine, or first
generation from mine. Many rebloomers from CA and OR will not perform twice
in Region 4. Lloyd Zurbrigg Durham NC
