Re: HYB: rebloom inheritance & checklist

Griff - Robin Shadlow, Betty & I have been working on the updated version of the rebloom checklist for the last couple of winters. Hopefully it will be finished and published soon.
I hope there will be a list, at least of names and where they have been reported to rebloom, on the rebloom website someday. But last I heard, that hadn't been decided. 

Some examples from the online database of
non-rebloom X non-rebloom = rebloom:

Of course, no data on what proportion from the cross rebloom.
None of the cultivars listed in pedigree of PAGAN GODDESS in the online database is registered as rebloomer. The pod parent is a seedling, so maybe it rebloomed, but neither of the seedling's parents were introduced as rebloomers.
Same is true of GOOD FAIRY, FROSTICO, maybe COME WHAT MAY, ACHY BREAKY HEART. 

Those turned up in a quick search.
I started with AMY, which is not registered as a rebloomer, but shows up in pedigree of rebloomer I DO.
Then searched for rebloomers with <AMY> in the pedigree - wound up with a bunch of cultivars with <crAMY> in the description, but they still gave some possible examples. 

Another example:
MAGIC MEMORIES (rebloomer in pedigree of HARVEST OF MEMORIES) = Crinkled Ivory X Rainbow Gold, neither of which was registered as a rebloomer.
Our draft of the checklist is buried here under the summer's accumulation of debris, or I'd check to see if any of these have been reported to rebloom elsewhere. My bet is they all do rebloom somewhere.
