Please report back to us as you study these. This type of research is
valuable.
I mainly work with rebloomers and I'm of the opinion that the stronger ones
tend to be more likely to rebloom. However, with the bunch of seedlings I have
at a friends house, I'm finding that some crosses produce a high percentage
of rebloomers, even among the weaker seedlings. These are the year 2000
seedlings and have been left in place longer than is normal. Late freezed in 2002
wiped many out bloom the first season, and my move this fall has kept me from
removing the weaker seedlings (non reselect) as I would normally.
