RE: REB:Rebloomers Revisited

Laurie,

Personally, I call any out of season by 1 month bloom to be rebloom.

OK, I know I've asked for this clarification before, but I've never
received it, and now it looks like I'm gonna need it!  To my great
delight, LILTING is sending up a lovely tall stalk that looks like it
might make it to bloom before it gets cut down by frost.  This'll be the
second time LILTING has rebloomed for me over the last 3-4 yrs, *except*
that I'm not sure this one can be counted as *legitimate* rebloom.

Here's the situation.  I dug and divided my only clump of LILTING last
summer and replanted 4 divisions in two different beds.  This spring,
only one of the divisions bloomed in the main beds.  The stalk coming up
now, however, is on a different division in a different bed.  So, is this
rebloom or not?

Anyone care to hazard an opinion?

Laurie
