I can't speak to this point directly but I would like to mention that
I'm fairly excited to have FINALLY gotten some of my intentional crosses
to take. This will be a first time for me. I'm just hoping for some
viable seed.
My 'most intentional' cross this year was H. Happy Valley Strkd x H.
Lakeside Sir Logan. HVS being the pod. Pods are streaked and about an
inch and a half long+. Oddly enough the intentional crosses were the
only crosses to take. Most of the other flowers did not set seed/pods.

Arguably one of the most famous efforts in hybridization was made by
Eric
Smith: H.'Tardiflora X H. sieboldiana, resulting in the H. Tardiana grex
series.Certainly many in this series are visually stunning, clearly
making
the cross a classic one.
I was wondering what other intentional crosses might be considered in
the
same light. Not the endless open pollinations or mystery crosses , but
crosses where both parents are named and held responsible for their
offspring.
Anybody have any such crosses they can name?
