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.
