My ultimate goal is a reblooming red on yellow plicata. I'd prefer bright 
yellow standards and falls with fairly heavy red overlay. But any and all 
arrangements of red and yellow are okay.  The pollen parent has a sibling that would 
be nice in rebloom.  It has red standards and yellow falls with red ring.  
Quite striking. (June 10) Color isn't as striking in the picture. 

But, I really don't think this cross has enough dark saturated color to give 
me the depth of color that I desire. The challenge will be to intensify the 
colors without losing the rebloom.
