  Sometimes substance shows up where you don't expect it. I made a cross 
between Violet Returns and Breakers. Eight of these rebloomed but they were 
terrible. Substance, along with a lot of other good traits were non existent. 

I did select the best of the rebloomers to use in breeding. I've used it 
in three different crosses. 1) Crossed with a sibling to Sincerely Yours, 
nothing to keep. Didn't even bother to check for substance. 

2) Crossed onto 0915-1Re (((Victoria Falls x Vanity) x Immortality) x (Love 
Lines)) it gave a bi-tone lavender with a red beard that fall bloomed in 2004 
(Sept.) & 2006 (Sept). Not a finished product but it has one redeeming 
quality . . . I like it! I need to make a bed called "Mother's Love!" Not the 
best substance. Only seedling that survived this cross. Move to here and 
all. 

3) The third cross was on Star Gate. A bit of inbreeding if you look at 
the parentage. Feed Back and Violet Returns share one parent, Perfume Counter. 
This cross gave several rebloomers. One has substance like plastic. The 
others are average or below average on substance. 1625-4Re was kept for 
substance alone. Rebloom was cut down by freezes this fall. Plants are healthy. 


It difficult to get all the required characteristics to merge into one iris.
