Donald, I am glad you got to see these rebloom, finally. I have
transplanted all of my introduced rebloomers, so I will not see any
rebloom on them this season, but I have several in the seedling
department that are keeping me busy. Ascii Art X Matrix and Earl of
Essex x Matrix are producing some 'barely' plics like AA in a pale
shade of blue. Some really nice things in cerise purple with blue
beards are coming from ((Titan's Glory x Supermanual) x Violet
Miracle)) X Anxious. There is some rebloom in these, but there
should be more, and it should be earlier, too. But, with the
caprices of the weather, we take what we can get. One seedling from
Azure Reprise X Violet Miracle is also stalking late. It blooms in
April, late June, and November. It is a tad narrow. Kevin Vaughn
saw it last year and said to save it.
PRECIOUS LITTLE PINK now upstages LOW HO SILVER in my garden
with its almost continuous bloom and is a heck of a lot prettier.

Nov. 21, with no rain until then. October and November have traded
places this year).
