Marilyn's introduction is named MAID OF AVALON. I glad to have it on
order--the luminous lilac or orchid color --and the pedigree-- caught
my attention immediately when I noted MAID some months ago.
Mike Sutton went on to comment that rebloom does occur in second
generation descendents of SILVERADO. They have a 2001 reblooming
intro named RETURN TO INNOCENCE (which appears in the catalog as "OF"
instead of "TO" by error) from this sort of breeding. The other
parents involved are SA's and RE's. The photo posted both on their
site and on the back cover of the catalog suggests RTI has both
extravagant ruffles and lovely form.
With SILVERADO this all suggests either persistence, good fortune or
both may be necessary. But isn't that true in all iris breeding?
