I'm not Chuck, but I can see where this would work for you. Not to predict future cross but to collect information on things that have rebloomed for you.

Like Betty, I have zero interest in crawling around in the heat and
humidity (or even when weather is more comfortable) to count leaf scars
on rhizomes to figure out how many leaves were on a fan when it was
blooming size.

But it just dawned on me this morning that I can cut off the part of the
rhizome that has a spent bloomstalk, bring it indoors, and photograph,
count scars at leisure.  I could even label them and toss them in a box
to dry & count this winter!

I have my eye on one cross in particular - IMM X pink (Imm x Csong) that
I would really like to increase my odds of guessing which, if any, might
have potential to rebloom (according to Chuck's theory) to try to use
for breeding.

Chuck, when you get time to comment, is there any reason this wouldn't
work?  If the fan produced a bloomstalk, at least I'd know for sure it
was mature.
