Re: REB: daylight independent rebloom

  If we can get the parentages of the seedlings that did this it may add information too. 
  I do have pedigrees on many of these culitvars which I would be happy to share. I may have to translate some of them this winter though because when they were generated, I intentionally flipped flopped the parentage so that the pollen parents were on top rather than the pod parents. I was so ingrained in reading pedigrees the "correct" way <vbg> that I wrote them out the way I wanted. After a few years of this it got tiresome to invert them and I have finally retrained my brain to look at pedigrees from the plant convention rather than the animal convention.
   
  I have a few to add to the list:
   
  daylight independent
   
  Gladiatrix
  Braggadocio seedlings
  Rio Seedlings
  Drinks At Sunset X Zurich seedlings
  Romantic Evening Seedlings
  Constant Companion IB (not pollen fertile- very tough if not impossible pod parent)
  Lady Emma MTB
  Summer Luxury (and the name did fit- it was gorgeous that July)
  Autumn Jester SDB
  Ruby Eruption SDB
   
  Drinks At Sunset may well rarely rebloom in the summer too. One year -long after it was acclimated- I did find blooms opening up inside the fan in August. It is also triple socketed, so it may be a very useful parent 
   
  Champagne Elegance did rebloom in July one year- Betty already mentioned it
   
  As Chuck mentioned, Forever Blue will rebloom almost any month here as will Precious Little Pink.
   
  Refined is a reliable repeat bloomer.
   
  I do think that Violet Miracle is the parent of so many cold weather rebloomers because it passes on the daylight independent rebloom gene. It has bloomed in the summer for me.
   
  Rosalie Figge doesn't behave like a daylight independent rebloomer here, though I see the reports from other locations around the world that indicate it may be. It does seem to be triggered by the least amount of cool night temps of any other rebloomer I grow.
   
  The willingness to share information is what I like the very most about iris people. So many of the seedlings I post are shown not because they are anything special- but to share what I've seen and hopefully spark an idea in someone else for something they would like to try.
