Re: TB: Daughter of Stars

Hi Margie,
 
DOS repeat bloomed twice for me this year. It was a two-year clump. It got a little more shade being planted in the corner of the yard and got more water from the neighbor's yard seeping through the wall or coming up from beneath. 
 
I had another DOS planted out in the middle of the bed that got full sun, and it did not rebloom, but it was only a one year clump. 
 
I did some crosses with DOS this year as well.  The #1 planned cross I did with it was with Momentous Occasion.  MO has plicata markings on the flounces. With this cross, I am hoping to get those luminata markings on the flounce and have rebloom, and with the two parents being from both ends of the country, hopefully the seedlings will do well anywhere.  DOS not only does well in its home in VA, and of course is good here in the SW, but it is reported to do well and rebloom up in Oregon also.  
 
I have high hopes for this variety too.
Patrick

I've had DOS for 2 years now and it has not rebloomed for me.  But, that may explain why it is such a vigorous grower here.  I may move it to another location to see if it would rebloom in another area of my yard.  
 
I've used it in some of my crosses this past spring.  I have high hopes for it's seedlings. :-)

Margie, is this rebloom?  DOS is a rebloomer, but I don't want to assume this shot is of the rebloom. 
 
This is probably the absolute best photo of this flower that I have ever seen.  I took dozens of photos of DOS this past spring, and not one came out looking as good.

This is Daughter of Stars. I think this one is the strongest and most vigorous of all the luminatas I grow.
