Re: RE: Red-toned rebloomers (was RE: First 08 rebloomers)

Ann,
   
  I am curious - wouldn't Popstar be a big help?  I have one red and one more orchid seedling from Popstar x Renown.  Only four from the cross have bloomed and the other 2 were yellow though one had a anthocyanin wash.
   
  Also I used Sheeba's Queen a few years ago with various things and got a lot of reds, and by the second generation I was actually surprised that Sheeba's Queen was so close in there as the form improved greatly over 1 generation.
   
  I do hope that you can get a cross with Rosalie Figge x Golden Immortal.  RF has never produced red seedlings, but certainly the red side of Violet.  I do think that the common thread that RF, Matrix ans Renown get the red from is Violet Miracle,  I got red beards first generation from some VM crosses.
   
  Good luck to you- there is much that can be done in the way of red rebloomers!
