Re: REB: leaf blades per fan

Tjhat is probably correct, as highest # of leaves I have seen is 15. Several 13 but mostly 10-12.
I would also suspect that the cultivars with lower leaf count on rebloom would be better parents for rebloom.

Most of the fans that are producing bloomstalks here seem to have 7 or 8
 green leaf blades, plus usually 4 (2 on each side) older leaf blades
that have turned brown and shriveled up.

There are a lot of seedlings out there (with some pedigree-potential to
rebloom) with 10 or more green leaves/fan (plus 2 to 4 dead ones) but
showing <no> sign of making stalks.

I'm starting to think that, for a lot of these seedlings, if they
haven't shown signs of starting a stalk with 8 green leaf blades, they
aren't rebloomers.
