Francelle's post did not come to my email, but Michael's post did.  I don't
check the archives on a regular basis.  Makes me wonder how many posts I'm
missing.



Francelle, have you grown any of the northern rebloomers in the past?  Seems I
remember some comments, but I'm not sure.

 Forgive me for not answering this for a month, Betty.  Marvin and I both
 have health problems.  I'm sure you understand.
 Barbara My Love and Pink Champagne don't rebloom in my garden either. But
 they give seedlings that do.  Neither do Wearing Rubies or Epicenter
 rebloom
 here.  Coral Dancer (Barbara My Love X Cast of Characters) does not
 rebloom
 for me, but it also gives seedlings that do.  I don't begin to understand
 it.

 <<what type of rebloomers I am working with.>>

 Francelle,

 I'm not a geneticist and not qualified to say, definitively, what you are
 working with;however, the irises you list seem to be warm climate
 rebloomers.
 Most of these have rebloomed either in AU, CA or OR.  I grow both Barbara
 My
 Love & Pink Champagne and neither have tried to rebloom in my climate,
 zone
 6.

 Regards,

 Betty W.

 ello all geneticists,
 still haven't had any comments on the type of rebloom I have been getting
 ere in the unique southern Arizona climate.  I never get fall rebloom as
 it
 akes too long for the rebloomers to recover from temperatures above 100
 egrees F. that last  until late October.  I have to satisfy myself with TB
 rises that will give almost continual bloom for two to three months in the
 pring.  My Cloud Reflection, (Mesmerizer X Pink Champagne), will bloom
 from
 arch 1 to May 20 as will about one fourth of its seedlings.  Mesmerizer
 ill give about six weeks bloom in my garden.
 also have a seedling from Wearing Rubies X Epicenter that will bloom for
 wo months, and  my Coral Dancer, (Barbara My Love X Cast of Characters)
 has
 iven me several very long blooming seedlings when crossed with Pink
 hampagne, though neither Coral Dancer or Pink Champagne have ever
 rebloomed
 ere and have only normal bloom periods themselves.
 wonder if some of you can tell my what type of rebloomers I am working
 ith.
