When I first started working with rebloomers, FEED BACK, IMMORTALITY, &  
SUGAR BLUES were about the only irises considered  ever-bloomers.  Twenty years 
ago FB looked pretty good in August, Sept.,  Oct. etc.  Can't say I've ever seen 
it bloom all that dark.  But  several of it's offspring have!  
 
Linda, I've seen wide variations in color from spring to fall.  STAR  GATE 
(child of FB) is almost Navy in cold weather.  Just a little prettier  to my 
eye.  RADIANT BLISS can have about the widest variation I've seen in  color.
