That's a pretty dramatic change in that seedling, Pam, from an orange-y red to a red bitone or bicolor.

Donald, it sounds like you have some vigorous seedlings there. The question is, is this truly instant rebloom, given that you also now (quickly) have multiple fans? I'm not trying to be a wet blanket here; I thought I had instant rebloom on one seedling, but that must have been just before it produced a 2nd fan; I have never seen instant rebloom on that seedling since. (I vaguely recall someone either writing in the journal about this, or else posting online. (S)he had pictures to illustrate the difference between "this is an instant rebloom scape" and "this looks like instant rebloom, but it's not, because it's from a new fan you just don't see yet". Iirc the diffference was where the scape emerged relative to the fan. I confess that I'm confused by it all. Confused ) At any rate, congrats on your seedlings, and keep a close watch on them; if they do have instant rebloom, you will want to keep that trait (and maybe cross your seedlings to something fancier or better in other traits, since it sounds like you don't care for them much, otherwise).
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
