I've been following this thread with great interest.  I've done a little
work on it myself.  I have a few red-black seedlings from Wearing Rubies X
Epicenter in which I am looking for signs of rebloom since both parents are
supposed to carry rebloom genes.  I am now harvesting seeds from very wide
crosses between these and my white rebloomer, Cloud Reflection.  I learned
from this year's bloom that CR lightens the colors of the other parent.
Therefore I am looking for possible pink rebloomers in a couple of years
from this bunch.  It will be interesting!
Did Cloud Reflection have any pink siblings? Looking at the registration entry for Cloud Reflection, I see that it has orange beards, and is from Mesmerizer x Pink Champagne. Mesmerizer is definitely a pink carrier. And Wearing Rubies has red beards too. So pink rebloomers does seem like a possibility - and that is another group that could do with much improvement. (I am working on pink REs too.)
