Re: Re: HYB: question - probability inheritance of rebloom


Hello Linda

What about your yellow seedling (harvest of m x laura jean), does it rebloom? And what about its siblings ?

I don't remember if you mentionned it when you sent the picture.

Thanks Mike. I had been assuming that was the case, but realized I'd never thought to ask (or have forgotten if I did!)

What I'm really wondering is what percentage of rebloom I can hope for crossing (for example) non-reblooming step siblings from IMMORTALITY, where both other parents are non-rebloomers.

Would it be one in four, one in six, one in a zillion (several, one or two, none)?

Assuming there isn't anything in the non-reblooming line to 'block' rebloom.

For example, [to pick a potential real example] what percentage of seedlings might be expected to be rebloomers (here) from a cross like this: (IMMORTALITY x CELEBRATION SONG) X (IMMORTALITY x RING AROUND ROSIE)?

Both CSONG and RAR have been reported to rebloom elsewhere sometimes, but not in my climate.

Only 2 tenths of an inch of rain from that last 'storm', but every drop counts!
