Don't know if you're asking me, but "Harvest of Memories" is an incredible rebloomer and the fragrance is delicious. It is a tall bearded and bright yellow - still blooming in December, and has been in different parts of my garden for about 3 months now. This is an Iris I wouldn't be without. It is a great reproducer too - although that means that you will probably have to divide more often. It has very strong stems and a lot of buds on each one. "Lenora Pearl" is another favorite of mine. It is a shorter iris, about 24" tall and pale peach. It blooms in the spring and then most of the late summer and fall. It's scent is more subtle than Harvest. I have to cut Harvest and leave it outside for several hours before I can bring it in the house! Right now, you can look at Schreiner's Garden web site and sort for rebloomers. They will say which ones are fragrant. Also, Leota's garden. There are other Iris sellers out there, but many are down for the off-season. And Shreiner's and Leota's are pretty easy to use. Glorious pictures. A good thing to dream over in the down season in the garden. Here is "harvest" at the beginning of July.
