Re: Re: HYB: HOM crosses

I find tha Feu Du Ciel reblooms for me and so does it's seedlings, esp if
crossed with something that at least carries rebloom.

Here's a photo of FdC X Holy Fire, first bloomed autumn last year, then
spring and now in autumn again. It's looking a bit translucent coz it got
frost zapped yesterday as it was opening. My only comment would be to ensure
you use FdC on things with good form and substance.
