What you will see are many, many gorgeous irises! And some of them have been reblooming this Fall. Reblooming is what you won’t see during the Convention. So we’re sharing these here for your inspiration. Come and see them in bloom again at the 2017 AIS Convention!
‘Rust Never Sleeps’ is an IB by Larry Lauer (2013) that has rebloomed in at least two of the host gardens. I saw it in rebloom August 9 in one of the gardens and in another it was been in rebloom almost continuously from August 14 through September 3 followed by additional stalks and blooms into October.
‘Echo Of Spring’ TB by Nancy Price (2013) rebloomed August 17.

A seedling by Linda Mann was reblooming in one of the guest gardens on October 11.
Another Larry Lauer TB ‘Free Will’ (2015) rebloomed in a guest garden in October.
