Re: HYB:FEEDBACK for rebloom; Larry Gaulter vrs. Titan's Glory

Walter, I have not grown Titan's Glory, but from what I have seen of it in other gardens, Larry Gaulter exceeds it in form and beauty.  I had a chance to see them blooming in the same vicinity at Cooley's Garden this May.  My son and I both concluded that Larry Gaulter seemed much the better iris.  It was the same deep blue violet color but larger, more ruffled, more diamond dusted, and made a more floriferous clump.   I won my first best of show with Larry Gaulter, and it was in competition with Titan's Glory.    Also, it grows well here in the hot country.

  Randy,

  Congratulations on this cross.  I have never set seed on RF and she 
  has never had any pollen for me.  Feedback is a great rebloomer, 
  sometimes an everbloomer when the weather cooperates.  Let's hope you 
  get an everblooming RF type that looks like one of the grandparents 
  TITAN'S GLORY.   Feedback has refused to give me anything worth 
  keeping even with SILVERADO.  I finally got rid of three S x F 
  seedlings after growing them about eight years and never seeing any 
  rebloom whatsoever on any of them.  They had respectable form but 
  just an ordinary reddish violet color.
