I continue to trust the rest of the rebloom community on these two and include
them in my breeding, but my rebloom from both is minimal and random.  One
summer stalk from Renown (in 6 years) and a handful of Matrix stalks all hit
with fall freezes.

HoM is a super reliable very early fall cycle bloomer here,>>

The plants are really crowded now and without getting down on my knees
o check, it looks like there are about 11 surviving seedlings from  HoM
 RENOWN.
8 of them have pink flags indicating some kind of rebloom.
This year, most of the summers didn't bloom until late cycle=frozen
ime, so I'm not sure how many of these are cycle and how many might
loom earlier.  Last year (maiden bloom for the cross), at least one of
hem started very early (Aug, I think).
I think RENOWN has "summer" bloomed once here, but rarely reblooms at
ll.  HoM is a super reliable very early fall cycle bloomer here,
otally different behavior from all other cycle rebloomers, which makes
e think its rebloom genetic "package" is something different from other
ycle rebloomers I've grown (or tried to grow).
