 I checked my old catalogues. I have 1990, 1992, 1993 but not 1991.
And checked registration data.

For Lloyd, Sunny Disposition rebloomed for him in Oct.

He did get seedlings mixed up, so at times numbers changed. I was unable to
get any further info from his notes.

Thanks for the tip, Chuck.  According to the online database, it was
introduced in 1991.

?====Anybody have a 1991 Avonbank Gardens catalog?

I figure the "summer" rebloom "ability" genes will be there, but it seems like
there is a suite of other genes affecting growth rate or temperature
tolerances or who knows what that have to be there in the right combination as
well.  From my <very> limited experience and understanding of things others
have said, it seems like some crosses that "should" produce "summer"
rebloomers are better at it than others.

Betty, I checked the archives, and found that I reported SUNNY DISPOSITION
blooming Sept 21, 2003, about a month before first freeze and start of typical
cycle bloomers.  It was its first summer here, purchased the preceding fall,
so may have still been a bit mixed up. Hard to say if that is "summer" or HoM
type cycle since both bloom about that time here.

?=== Do either LILLA or MAC SHAWE (from SUNNY D) "summer" bloom for anybody?
I have both, but neither has rebloomed.

<Lloyd mixed up his  crosses a lot. So a number of his fall cyclic rebloomers
also  had summer rebloom genes.

He did document a lot of his  crosses in detail in his catalogue "Avonbank
Gardens" so notes on this cross are probably available in old copies  of the
catalogue.
