I think there have been discussions here in the past about the probable/possible origins of rebloom in TBs, but I've forgotten and was wondering if there is an article somewhere that details their history? Maybe in the Reblooming Iris Society Recorder, or one of the other AIS/affiliate pubs?
I haven't looked yet, & am not really sure how to narrow down a search of the archives for the info.
Especially wondering about theories of where the rebloom genes came from that Smith and G.P. Brown were working with? Esp. the heat tolerant 'summer' blooming 'cold climate' rebloomers.
Tom Silver's reblooming CRICKET SONG, from I. cengialtii , I. variegata (Beardsley clone),& I. suaveolens var. mellita, has gotten me wondering about it again. Wondering if these rebloom genes are the same as those in IMM, VIOLET MIRACLE, or another suite.
