This thread has me thinking about our reblooming standard dwarfs. Hardly
anything reblooms for us, so we were not looking for reblooming seedlings.
However, three seedlings from a cross of NACHOS X PILGRIMS' CHOICE produced
three that have been reported to rebloom. The only tie to reblooming
ancestors seems to be that both parents have GINGERBREAD MAN three
generations back. GINGERBREAD MAN never rebloomed for us, but has frequently
been reported across the country.
The three reblooming seedlings were named and introduced as HARLEM NOCTURNE,
PICASSO PRINT and SILK AND VELVET. SILK AND VELVET pollen was used on our
ICE AND INDIGO to produce our 2002 introduction SHOUT. SHOUT has turned out
to be our most reliable rebloomer (along with Earl Hall's VIOLET RETURNS).
The only possible rebloomer in the pod parent's background seems to be LACED
LEMONADE (three generations back) which was reported only in Delaware as a
rebloomer.
It is a mystery how these rebloomer came into being.
