Re: RE: Sibling Crosses

Betty:

I think Double Vision is a rebloomer in the color you like, but it is a sadly
stunted thing and a slow increaser for me.  No good kiddies yet here from that
one.

  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.
