I saw about 30 of these bloom at Jim's house. Two tried to rebloom  there the 
first year.  Those two re-selects and several still in the pot  that were 
planted out here in 2004 produced the fall bloom.  
 
As for Sincerely Yours x Star Gate, two pods produced 71 seed.  Only 5  
sprouted the first year.  One had a huge root system when I planted  it.  It is the 
rebloomer. The huge root system at planting time seems to be  significant.   
It bloomed that fall, the next spring and had a  stalk when the freeze hit 
last fall and another when the freeze  hit this past spring.  The remaining 
rhizomes are healthy and have  been lined out.  Several more sprouted in 2006, but 
they are still in  the pots.  Five have been planted to a 3 gallon pot and are 
growing very  well.  Some were lost in this summer's heat.  It's a cross I  
can easily do over if I think the potential is there, or just move forward with 
 the seedling.
