Re: rebloomers/zone

Diana Louis asked for my zone when I was inquiring about rebloomers.  
That was before all the discussion re: zones in signature lines.

Diana - according to the maps I am borderline zones 4 & 5.  I have 
always thought I was zone 4 and have been leery of growing things that 
are hardy only to zone 5.  Now however I suspect I am zone 5.  Winters 
can vary quite a lot here - Southern Maine - about 10-12 miles from 
the coast (Atlantic) as the crow flies - 15 by the road.

The weather here is probably not much different from where you live.  
I notice you sign zone 4/5; perhaps that is what I should do also.

If you have information re: rebloomers in this climate, I'd be 
interested for future reference ( too late this year).  I've never had 
an iris rebloom and think it would be quite a kick to see in the 
garden about now.  Of course it may be the culture (or lack thereof) 
and not just the varieties I grow.  I tend to neglect the bearded iris 
after bloom time.  Confession is good for the soul, right?
