Re: HYB: Matrix for red rebloomers?

Robyn

How much luck are you having with Matix as a parent? I've done a lot
of crosses with it because of rebloom and width, but so far I haven't
seen anything really decent. I've seen a lot of reblooming dreadfuls
though. The other parent needs to have impeccable form and substance I
suspect.

Subject: [iris-photos] HYB: Matrix for red rebloomers?


> I was looking through some of my seedling photos and I came across a
few that might be interesting.  Matrix may be useful for work on
getting red rebloomers.  Two different crosses produced some 'red'
progeny.  The Scottish Reel x Matrix cross had about 1/3 showing some
variation of red.  There was only one red from about 15 that bloomed
in the Wearing Rubies X Matrix cross- most of these were bitones-
quite a few with tangerine beards. (no fall stalks on either of these
crosses so far, darn)
