Hello, Linda,
I triedn to reply to this on Facebook but I'm never sure that anything I
write there goes anywhere.
I have used Romantic Evening as pollen parent and got one good seedling out
of many.  None showed any sign of rebloom.  My Anasazi Legend is Purple
Pirouette X Romantic Evening.  It is 34" tall.  Branching and bud count are
just fair.  It is noted for blooming red-purple with rust beards in hot
weather but blue-black with bright yellow beards in cool weather, which is
most of the country.  It doesn't rebloom, and all of its siblings were no
good at all.
Pagan Dance is in the geneology of all of my pink reblooming seedlings.  I
have never even seen it though I would like to.  I am really enjoying its
great grandkids.  The most exciting cross I have seen so far bloomed for the
first time this spring.  It is from an irridescent blue-pink sibling of
Desert Sonata (Barbara My Love x Pink Champagne) and Lilac Morning (Margaret
Inez x Ruffled Godess)  PC, MI and RG all descend from Pagan Dance.  Desert
Sonata is a good repeat bloommer here where intense heat always prevents
fall rebloom.  Lilac Morning doesn't repeat.  I don't know if any of these
seedlings will or not, but they ranged in color from bright pink to deep
violet, and most were trimmed with gold lace and hafts.  I am going to line
out over half of them.

My growing conditions are so abysmal, irises aren't usually able to show
their full potential here.

Can any of you tell me what kind of branching and bud count these cultivars
have under good growing conditions?  average, below average, excellent
