Photo of  Got rebloom?

Post your rebloom photos here!

I went out to the iris beds and found more rebloom than I ever dreamed possible in Zone 5 where I live. Earlier this summer I had a rebloom from Double Your Fun, in fact it is still in bloom, but here is a rebloom from Elephant Footprint. It already bloomed on Sept. 1 and now it is blooming again on October 8. I am so excited because we rarely have rebloom here in New Mexico. My only rebloomer before this was Romantic Evening some years ago. But this year I have already had two rebloomers and have buds ready to open on Sugar Blues. Will post when it blooms-- perhaps tomorrow. Also, I have a big bud on Zurich which is actually newly planted this summer. I guess technically it isn't a rebloom but I count it because I wasn't expecting a bloom in the fall of the year it was planted. And I also found a bud on Blueberry Tart which was also planted this summer. It is rather small so I don't know if it will make it before frost, but it surely is trying to rebloom.
Yea! Rebloom has been rare for me. I am so excited. Don't know how to explain it.
