Leslie, I think my irises think like yours. Last summer was the first one in several years that three weeks out of August were not over 100 degrees..... and we reached 112 quite a few of those days.

I have some little guys in pots and I moved the pots out of the sun and watered them and three re-bloomed. One was Sun Doll

It bloomed again in late November and I brought it in over several nights to protect the blooms from freezing.

And the other two were Trimmed Velvet an MDB and Smell the Roses a SDB

These two bloomed so late I picked the blooms before the weather got them. Here are two in a little glass. Not good pictures of the last tow but it gives you an idea of their color. smiles
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
