Re: HYB:Returning Chameleon & Immortality

Hello Linda
You're up so early!
I like Mid summer's eve, cos i'm after median irises with proportionate flowers. Same thing with Ocrober Splendor.
May be you could use Splash of Raspberries =(Far Corners X Mulled Wine.) It doesn't rebloomed, but the genes are good! I'll send the picture to iris-photo as soon as i finish my message to you.
In fact it's great we don't all have the same intrest and focus, because all put together we explore a very wide range of possibilities! Still i think it's great we share very precise experience, it's always good to know more, even if it's not immediately usable. We're not after "recipes", we have to invent everything everyday, but you never know what can trigger ideas.

Trouble with MIDSUMMER'S EVE is that it has the 'short' genes, which seem to be in nearly every pink rebloomer around. Or at least the ones that will tolerate our climate/growing conditions ('the vale of despair' <g>). I think I have it - will check.
RETURNING CHAMELEON (and unfortunately both parents) is short also, but at least it's a TB, and there might be something here by next bloom season with height that would be a good match.
I'm not specifically breeding for color (or rebloom, for that matter) yet, just trying to get several lines going that thrive and bloom reliably in my growing conditions and that have <potential> to produce rebloom children (or grandchildren) in colors other than white or blue-purple or light yellow. 


Do you know the pink  MIDSUMMER'S EVE ?
i sent the picture last week,
it's  ( IMMORTALITY X ENCHANTED WORLD)
ENCH. WORLD= (Flaming Dragon x Pink Horizon) X (Glazed Orange x Radiant Light).
that should tickle RET. CHAMELEON's pink genes shouln't it? may be too orange ?
Midsummer's Eve reblooms early, in September, the best in fact cos blazing summer is over, and frost is still far in the future .
