  No magic temperatures, I think; just rapidly dropping probabilities of
  success.  I don't try too many rebloom crosses (less roughly simultaneous
  bloom = less chance of a synergistically appealing cross), but a couple
took
  last year, and we don't have freeze problems to interfere.

    Have any of you had success with seed pods on rebloom?    Seems like I
    remember Lloyd Zurbrigg saying he had done this and dug the whole plant
    before hard freezes to bring indoors to finish maturing.

    Do daytime temperatures have to stay below the magic 80oF threshold in
    order to set seed, or does the temperature just have to be below 80 at
    the time the cross is made?
