I'm no expert (and I mean that).  But most 1/2-breds and 1/4-breds
are already moisture-tolerant enough just from their TB parentage.
I doubt reblooming parentage makes them any more tolerant.

But you are right, ARIL REVERIE is a rebloomer, and one of the few
arilbreds that can do that.  I'm hoping to make more, though.  I've
got several arils (oncos, and oncogelias) that I'm going to cross
with my rebloomers next spring.  And then I'll start line breeding.
