A few different ideas in this thread - just to clarify a bit.
When I say "CA rebloomers", I mean what I think the handbook calls sporadic rebloomers. In particular, I mean irises that may not originally come from CA, but rebloom in ideal growing conditions esp in CA/OZ. In particular, the kind of CA rebloom I'm curious about is the kind that occurs in Jul/Aug in CA. Some examples I've heard about include LULLABY OF SPRING and PURE AS GOLD.
Curious about what would happen to seedlings of these mixed with super tough Zurbrigg lines in my growing conditions.
Otherwise, Oz/CA genes appeal more for the patterns, colors, and form. If they are prolific rebloomers there, that's nice, and would love it if those genes can contribute something to rebloom, but that's not the reason for trying to use them.
