another, rebloom.  One problem I have is too few pink  rebloomers for
breeding stock.  Pink Attraction did so poorly here  that I finely put it
out of its misery.  Diamond Blush died on its  own.  When You Wish
bloomed out.  Pink Champagne is a vigorous  pink which carries rebloom
genes and has been reported to rebloom  somewhere.  I have used it
heavily in my hybridizing.  I now have  Lauer's reblooming pink, Peggy

I'm glad you posted this, Francelle. Aside from the fact that your  irises 
are really good looking, I've been wondering specifcally about the pink  
rebloomer breeding pool since this dicusssion began. Very interesting,  thank you.
