Re: REB: rebloom carriers - Yaquina Blue

Hi Linda,

No, I had no idea that Yaquina Blue was a remontant.- and still don't.. I just knew that it was a very fine iris that might improve my Oxmoor Hills line. I lucked out, and there are two seedlings from the cross that are being lined out. As you know, E-00-19-1 is first choice for both Tom Parkhill and me.

Jim

Jim, I'm curious - did you know ahead of time that YAQUINA BLUE carried
rebloom when you crossed it with OXMOOR HILLS?

Or were you hoping it did?

Or were you planning some future cousin crosses?

I had no idea SEAKIST would throw reblooming seedlings - was just using
it to help form and substance of HARVEST OF MEMORIES, plus pick up some
interesting bicolor/pattern genes, plus hoping for the triple bloomstalk
per rhizome that SEAKIST produced here its first year.  The reblooming
HOMSK seedling was a pleasant surprise, but not planned.

There are a few seedlings here somewhere from HOM X YAQ, also hoping to
improve form & substance, but had no idea I might also get some
rebloomers from that cross also.
