When I started, Monty Byers was high on IMMORTALITY.  Monty sent it to  me, 
and fortunately for me it grew well right away.  Two year clump put up  five or 
six stalks, and did I ever take advantage of it.  Lloyd and I were  on a 
robin together about the time my seedlings started to bloom.  Someone  else 
recommended that I use I DO instead as it gave much better form.   Lloyd chimed in 
and said that I was right to use IMMORTALITY if rebloom was my  goal.  (it was)
 
I don't complain about the form on BRIDGE IN TIME or RETURNING  CHAMELEON.  
Both IMMORTALITY pollen.  
 
I grew BROTHER CARL at one time.  I guess the only reason I didn't buy  it 
again when I moved out here was because I have so many reblooming  whites.  I've 
not used it in breeding.
