Re: REB:Rebloomers Revisited

That's the problem, Char.  While I was a member of RIS, I never saw any 
guidelines which answered that particular question.  In fact, I'm fairly 
certain I remember reading at least one "rebloom report" published in the 
Recorder that specifically stated the irises had been purchased and 
planted *that summer*.  That surprised me, since the general consensus 
seems to be that  a rebloomer must complete two bloom cycles within the 
same growing season *in the same garden*. Why, then, would the official 
publication of the RIS publish a rebloom report for *non-legitimate* 
rebloom?

If RIS does, indeed, have comprehensive guidelines that answer these 
sorts of questions, I'd love to get a copy.
