Re: HYB: question Brazilian Holiday benchmark?

I'M BACK  is a very good rebloomer here in Holland.

It is a bit shorter than Romantic Evening, with loads of flowers.
Like it's father Romantic Evening, it is not a good mother, but it's pollen is VERY good. 

Have used it a bit last year, and a lot this spring. We now have to wait .

Loic

Subject: [iris] HYB: question Brazilian Holiday benchmark?
Schreiners seem to be using BRAZILIAN HOLIDAY quite a bit, so I'm wondering if it's another one of those 'benchmark' irises, important breeder.
I've not tried any of these, but notice there is one registered rebloomer from it. Not too late to order!
Any of you have experience/comments on any of these? Or BRAZILIAN HOLIDAY's breeding potential, rebloom or otherwise?
