I've not grown Lenora Pearl since I left Alvaton, but do grow the others. Of this list, only Pink Attraction has bloomed in the summer here. I've made many crosses with it, but have mixed results. My best cross with it was when I put the pollen onto Presence, PA gave Memphis Miss which is a delightful pink with excellent branching. No rebloom. Angel Among Us, & Princess Teaghen come from this line and are very good irises, but they are among the select few that have good branching etc. Most of the PA children have had tragic branching and bud count. None of the Pink Attraction children have rebloomed here. Mine or others. <<For pink rebloomers? , or ones with tttt you have Pinkness, Pink Attraction, October Splendor, and Lenora Pearl to start>> October Splendor makes a beautiful clump in bloom and does well here, but does bloom short. I hate to use anything that doesn't contribute to the main goal. If you are correct and the fall cycle rebloomers are dominant, I don't want to block summer bloom by using it, yet it is my best bet. Maybe I'll use it this spring. Pinkness has faults I don't want to include. I do have a baby ribbon pink seedling from Memphis Miss X Frappe that I'm tempted to rescue for breeding, but still no summer rebloom. I've not bred with SDBs until lately. My collection is small. This summer was so hot I lost some of my SDBs despite them having some of my precious shade. I do need to get Precious Little Pink. Thanks so much for your patience. Each time we do this, I think of something new to try, or I'm reminded of something I've neglected or forgotten. Betty W . . .

With one or ore T it will be yellow. (ignoring anthocyanin) Dominant Ameona? is just that. One gene does it all.? Where you get problems s with the Ae (anthocyanin enhancemet gene) which produces AVI (anthocyanin ascular intrusions)? which makes the anthocyanin darker. Thus it takes more hen one?? of the repression genes to do its effect. e will make a neglecta from a flower that would otherwise just be an amoena. For pink rebloomers? , or ones with tttt you have Pinkness, Pink Attraction, ctober Splendor, and Lenora Pearl to start. And a few others as well. recious Little Pink, and IB is also a good start.? For SDB you have Autumn angerine and Autumn Maple.? And as I found out this year, my own Juiced Up an also rebloom, in a longer growing season as we had this year. If you carefully study of? your yellows from tttt crosses, you can start to ake educated guess to ones with Ttttt? genetics. And test it out. I think I an tell, but it is a very subltle? differernce between a TTtt and a Tttt. But as you have noted, you don't know what recessives are there until you have ried all the crosses.

Somewhere back through the years, I've picked up the information that the only ay you can really tell what any given iris is (is) by seeing what it produces n it's children? <<If a plant has? one dominant gene, for example a yellow with three t enes?(Tttt) is crossed with a tttt? (pink)? flower, half of the offspring ill have a T gene and will be yellow (assuming all other genes are ontrolled)>> lt;<If a plant has two? independent dominant genes,>> By independent do you mean dominant genes that aren't linked in any way? Chuck, I've always been told that recessive genes, especially working with the angerince factor, meant I would have to bloom a lot of seedlings just to get couple of keepers. For instance: Rebloomers with the tangerine factor are lmost non existent in my area. I'm left with trying to create what I want by utcrossing rebloomers (non-tangerine) with oncers (tangerine factor) and then rossing back in later generations. A tedious job. For instance, I've crossed Renown onto one of my pink irises. I have a decent avender seedling with yellow beard (expected) which I now need to cross back o reblooming pink. Would it make sense for me to create a good rebloomer that contains all of the ecessive colors I want--white with red beard, pink, orange, & red bearded ellow. (tangerine factors) Then use it to breed back to the various colors. oes this have any merit? Doesn't it take two dominant amoenas to produce a dominant amoena?

Okay, I see why Chuck says it ould be 100%! In my experience, this doesn't happen. Must be something se or some combination. hile a dominant would only need one on each side, there would only be 2 pies and therefore produce 25%. think I understand the theory, now.

Only one Dominant ple gene of the four that can exist is needed to be purple colored flowers. a Recessive to "show" completely a plant needs all 4 recessive genes (in raploids) to be present. You only need one Dominant in each parent for each ent to be purple. There are recessives that go along with the Dominants at emerge when two recessives from one plant meet the same two recessives from ther plant. when you cross two purple selfs you might get some roses, some plicatas, me tes and glaciatas if the genes for those are there not expressing in the two ple flowers. Depending on the type of purple the colored flower you are ng you may also get carotenoid amoenas as well. w a rhetorically supposition... Is purple form anthocyanin only or a bination with carotenoids as well? An anthocyanin purple self flower could e all four genes for carotenoid amoenas and not show it because it produces carotenoid in the petals. so just to be sure you understand this comment is correct.... u have both a dominant pattern--(self) and a dominant color--(purple.)" wever, the two genes are independent of each other. So you could get the ple form one parent and also get all plicatas from each parent (i.e. no self e) and end up with a purple plicata. ----Original Message----- om: Betty Wilkerson <autmirislvr@aol.com> nt: Jan 9, 2011 12:27 PM : iris-photos@yahoogroups.com, iris@hort.net bject: [iris] Re: [iris-photos] HYB seeds from "Cloud Shadow" <<If it was a recessive only, then it would have been 100%.

Thus you must ve some on both sides of the cross to have any chance of getting the color c..?

So basically ything crossed with them will produce some rebloomers. That is because FC blooming is basically a dominant trait. would suggest plant vigour and low mature leaf count at bloom time are the condary characteristics which enhance rebloom and earlier rebloom on edlings from a cross with a FC rebloomer. The more I look at this the more makes sense. And my own crosses are backing this up. had about 40 rebloom seedlings this year by crosses using these incipals. st of these were from FC reblomers crossed to plants with high plant gour, fast increase, and low leaf count. Some crosses producing 50% bloomers. did get rebloomers from crosses of Whenever X Whenever, but with result oking like 25%, I'm suspecting one recessive gene and two dominant genes ing involved in the rebloom complex. If it was a recessive only, then it uld have been 100%. The only explination that I can se so far is two minants, which gives the 25%. And one of these dominants very well may be e Facilitative Vernalization gene. have tested vigour hypothesei with cross of Forever Blue X Paradigm Shift the plant wit hhighest vigour and increase that I know) and did get one ant that rebloomed very late. Suggestive of Facilitative Vernalization, as ant had been mature for a long time, hile FC X FC may increase number of reblooming seedlings, it is not cessarily so. A cross of Lenora Pearl X October splendor (both FC bloomers here) had about 30 seedlings, So far, on 2 years of mature plants 006 cross) there has been no rebloom. I would suspect that crossing ther these to a high vigour, low mature leaf count , non-rebloomer, that I uld t much better results he Summer Rebloomers and Whenever Rebloomers have a recessive gene in their mplex, so will need a coresponding rebloom gene in the other plant. So a rrier for Whenever gene will not work when crossed to a Summer rebloomer d vice versa. So right carrier is needed for right plant. omething like Rain Dance, is not a carrier of anything. But it is a vigorous ower. So does have one of the secondary characteristics that can be lpful. ertainly keep your data. I would be very interested in your results, as I'm ill sorting out all the factors. 'm starting to suspect that all of the rebloomers have Vernalization cilitative genes.

Although some plants may have ese rebloom genes but lack secondary genes to enable rebloom. or "Summer rebloomers" and "Whenever Rebloomers" there are at least one t recessive rebloom genes, so you can have carriers, but two differerent pes.
