Hello, Iris Talkers,
Betty Wilkerson has asked if any of us pollen daubers have made any recent crosses with rebloomers.
I have. This spring I set out 129 seedlings from three crosses with Mariposa Skies. Unfortunately less than half of them are still alive. If any survive until cooler weather, they will have taken the worst that Arizona heat can do to them. I don't know if I expect any of them to rebloom though. Mariposa Skies hasn't. If I get a good seedling from them, I will breed it to another blue rebloomer and hope for the best.
I have seeds from a cross I made this spring, Pink Lenox X Mother Earth. Pink Lenox has been an excellent parent for me, at least its cross with Celebration Song has produced some lovely seedlings. I am really interested to see what this Mother Earth cross will give. ME bloomed for me the first time this spring, and I really liked it. One of Pink Lenox's parents is Twice Thrilling, so it may have some rebloom genes.
Forever an optimistic pollen dauber,
