This is good to hear. I thought I'd read, last year or so, that you said the FC were dominant over summer bloomers. Or that when both are used, the FC genes will express over the summer genes. <<As the FC and summer reblomers are completely independent traits (on rebloom main trigger) , one won't repress or dominant the other.>> In the best of all possible worlds . . . my rebloom would start about the end of Aug. Anything before that is likely to be melted into a brown glob in our summer heat. Unfortunately, most of my cycle rebloomers begin so late that most of them get hit with a heavy frost around the middle of Oct. It's been five years or more since we've had a really good late fall to extend bloom. The summer of 2006 produced some nice summer bloom. It's a rare summer that I don't get a couple of things blooming in the summer. Mild summers produce more, of course. Now that the summers are getting hotter, it's mainly my seedlings and not always consistent. One thing that's a bit frustrating is how long it takes my own seedlings to show their potential. Two siblings 2025-01Re & 02Re both put up very late fall stalks (maiden bloom) in 2008. They both fall bloomed earlier in 2009. This year, the lavender one put up a stalk in July with half a dozen or so later in the fall. The white one started blooming in late August put up 6 stalks before frost. Constant bloom all fall. Cross was made the spring of 2005. Most BBs are still only a generation or two away from the TBs. They are the result of selecting short TBs. Not really a stable class yet, so I would expect many seedlings to be of TB height. <<Tangerine factor is harder to get then height. A BB crossed to a TB will give a good number of tall bloomers.>> Betty W. -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Chapman <irischapman@aim.com> To: iris <iris@hort.net> Sent: Mon, Jan 10, 2011 9:24 am Subject: [iris] Re:Rebloom Genetics As the FC and summer reblomers are completely independent traits (on rebloom ain trigger) , one won't repress or dominant the other. If Summer Rebloom genes are there and functioning,? they will work first. Even f it also has proper genetics for FC rebloom. All rebloomers will have? some of the secondary factors which enable rebloom enes to express. October Splendor, unfortunately, has a high mature leaf count (16)? which can nterfere unless it is crossed to a plant with a low mature leaf count. Tangerine factor is harder to get then height. A BB crossed to a TB will give good number of tall bloomers. For height, branching and tangerine factor, try Celebration Song. It has ebloomed in a few locations, and in most locations is a strong fast grower, aving a good number of the needed secondary rebloom factors. Do you have the environmental conditions needed for good summer rebloom in our climate? That is? bud set temperatures of 6 nights in a row with min emperatures in 16-20 C (59-72F approx.)? after the plant has reached leaf ount maturity?? This would likely be July/Aug. If not, it may be more productive focussing on FC rebloomers. If you don't get these conditions consistently you may have a lot of problems n reaching your goal. As you will have problems getting? proper evaluation f? parent plants and selecting seedlings with these traits.

Of his list, only Pink Attraction has bloomed in the summer here. I've made any crosses with it, but have mixed results. My best cross with it was when put the pollen onto Presence, PA gave Memphis Miss which is a delightful ink with excellent branching. No rebloom. Angel Among Us, & Princess eaghen come from this line and are very good irises, but they are among the elect few that have good branching etc. Most of the PA children have had ragic branching and bud count. None of the Pink Attraction children have ebloomed here. Mine or others. <<For pink rebloomers? , or ones with tttt you have Pinkness, Pink ttraction, ctober Splendor, and Lenora Pearl to start>> October Splendor makes a beautiful clump in bloom and does well here, but does loom short. I hate to use anything that doesn't contribute to the main goal. f you are correct and the fall cycle rebloomers are dominant, I don't want to lock summer bloom by using it, yet it is my best bet. Maybe I'll use it this pring. Pinkness has faults I don't want to include. I do have a baby ribbon pink eedling from Memphis Miss X Frappe that I'm tempted to rescue for breeding, ut still no summer rebloom. I've not bred with SDBs until lately. My collection is small. This summer as so hot I lost some of my SDBs despite them having some of my precious hade. I do need to get Precious Little Pink. Thanks so much for your patience.

The more I look at this the more makes sense.
