Re: HYB: making fantasy iris (Patti's reblooming blue w/pink beards)


Patti,

I have a suggestion for a parent that might be useful for a blue 
rebloomer with pink beards.  I think that CHRISTIANE ELIZABETH would 
help you with rebloom, branching and ruffling.  

I didn't happen to cross it with FOGBOUND, but in 2005 I should have 
seedlings from CE X FIERY TEMPER and CE X ROMANTIC EVENING.  I may 
have some useful seedlings from an ALL AMERICAN X FOGBOUND cross too.

I will be sure to keep my eyes open for anything that might be 
useful to you.  I made a number of crosses involving pink 
rebloomers, hoping to incorporate the rebloom genes with the 
recessive color so that I can use these seedlings to work towards 
obtaining rebloom in more patterns.
