Re: Re: HYB: making fantasy iris

I don't see rebloom on Stage Lights in my garden, although I have seen a few
delayed stalks (by a month or two).  It is remarkably vigorous, strong and
rot-resistant in a class (luminatas) not generally known for such traits.
Although it is not as strikingly attractive as most of Ghio's luminatas (just
a bit narrow and less brightly colored), its growth habits make it a worthy
breeder (and it has proven to be so for Ghio).

  Looking at this year's Ghio catalog I found:

  ENTANGLED (Ghio 2000) pink ground luminata with red purple veining
  LIP SERVICE (Ghio 2001) apricot base luminata with violet wash and lines

  Apricot isn't pink, but has both pink and yellow, right?

  NEW LEAF (Ghio 97) (photo in Tempo Two) is a pink and dark rosy maroon
  luminata but it looks like the patch around the beards is white, rather
  than pink.

  and it's child, STAGE LIGHTS, is also a peach ground maroon luminata.

  I wonder if any of these carry rebloom...

  <How about ENTANGLED?  It's a luminata with a pink ground. ....  It
  hasn't bloomed her yet, but is all still alive.   Robin Zone 5 NE>
