.... I didn't register "Marching to Zion" -- (Metler '11) as a rebloomer but here it is.
pict taken yesterday. With this late of a rebloom trait -- I really don't consider it a reliable rebloomer for northern climates
parentage -- Dayglow X Fogbound

Looks "creamy" which I like a lot. Nice looking flower. Any re-bloomer experience in warmer climes reported?

I've sent the variety to folks in various parts of California, Iowa, Texas and Tennessee. I did receive a rebloom report from one of my customers in Missouri, and one in Tennesee.
I know Brad has it, or had it -- one of his picts is in the photo database for this variety.

I love the delicacy of color in that one.. very soft and appealing. Just beautiful!

Thanks Timothy! There's a number of Iris nurseries in Australia and I'm sure at least one would be happy to import your introductions. Some are on the vendors list (The thread "Vendor list" in Irises forum), but there's a few missing.

Timothy ~ Truly, that is a beautiful iris. The color, form and balance, just enough ruffles, but not too many. And the possibility of being a rebloomer...so nice!
