Betty, very exciting, if it can survive the frosts long enough to bloom, one of this year's IMM X RED ROCK CANYON seedlings has a stalk forming down in the foliage.
And, also exciting, the IMM X KIWI CHEESECAKE seedling that put up a stalk in August that fried in the heat has another nice healthy stalk up, so <maybe> we'll get to see what it looks like too.
<Much> less exciting, single small fan has opened maiden bloom on a seedling from (IMM X (GOLDEN APPLE x CRYSTAL GLITTERS). IB height, TB bloom, at least the width is good. 


As a rebloom breeder, I take notice when a plant has extraordinary vigor.

'Red Rock Canyon' shows exceptional plant growth and vigor, represented by
good increase, but more importantly by root growth.  This was in a three
gallon pot and is growing very well compared to some others sitting beside it.
I've not seen it bloom.  It has some interesting relatives.

Mike (Sutton) have you used RRC in breeding?  If so what are you getting?

Linda, all of my mail to you is bouncing right now.  Filter has tightened.
