I checked my records. My two remaining seedlings from Forever Blue X Victoria Falls rebloomed here Aug 18th. Exceptionaly early. And one of them continued until frost. Normally bloom much later.

Blooms all summer and fall? Has those summer bloom genes, so I care.
But I'm a bit confused - Chuck, are you saying that in your experience, crossing fall cycle TBs with FOREVER BLUE produces everbloomers? Or summer bloomers? I thought your theory was that everblooming (i.e. FB) and summer are both full recessive? Or did you mean it produces a high percentage of cycle type rebloomers, enhances ability of fall cycle type TBs to give cycle seedlings that bloom more reliably? I dont' quite understand how Mary Lou's summer blooming seedling from a cycle reblooming seedling X FB fits the theory, unless FB has at least one dose of summer too. But you didn't get any summers from IMM X FB, so that seems unlikely. Interesting. <Forever Blue produces a lot of rebloomers like this from crosses with Fall Cyclic TB rebloomers.
