Will we find that a consistent group of characteristics piggyback the gene  
for delayed germination?  Or will it be random with each roll of the  die?  
 
In a cross with strong rebloom, I found different rebloom characteristics  in 
the 1st and 2nd year's germination!  Will this be consistent in these  irises 
as the years pass?  Will this pattern repeat in other strong rebloom  
crosses?  
 
Both crosses I reviewed produced July bloom on SOME second year  germinates.  
If this is a stable characteristic, it could be important, at  least to me.
