Fw: Re: HYB: Rebloom inheritance

Spoke too soon. One of its siblings is sending up a stalk today. So, it will have company. -- Griff

At the moment, I have a seedling just about to open in its maiden bloom (if today's forecast rain doesn't zap it). It is from KINDLE A FLAME X CHERRY GLEN, neither of which is a rebloomer; however, CHERRY GLEN has TWICE TOLD as a parent, and KAF has SPIRIT OF MEMPHIS as a grandparent. I was not looking for a rebloomer from this cross. The seedling about to bloom is a first-year plant (i.e., set out in 2006) and none of its 19 siblings has sent up a stalk, which is the norm here. So, we see that the known rebloom heritage on one side is one generation back, and on the other side is two generations back. -- Griff

Francelle, seems like I've seen that in several rebloom pedigrees I've searched, but unfortunately, can't think of a single example at the moment.
<That is, do nonreblooming seedlings from reblooming parents carry genes that 
might give  rebloomers if crossed with other rebloomers?>
Betty, how many non-reblooming seedlings did you have in each of those crosses? Just wondering what the ratios were, more or less. Of course that doesn't count all the non-survivors... 

<Love Lines is from Latest Style X Glistening Icicle.  It had  everything
going for it except rebloom. When crossed with the pollen of Clarence it 
produced over half a dozen rebloomers.

Sincerely Yours is (Bridge In time x (Feed Back x Titan's  Glory.)   The
pollen seedling did not rebloom for me. The Feed Back x Titan's Glory was a rather large cross with several good seedlings but no rebloom. When crossed by Star Gate it produced one reliable rebloomer. It's darker than either parent.>
