Hi Kent,

I have Candy, had Keepsake, and have wanted to see Cheiko in real life.
Cheiko was by Parrett, and several similar ones were done at that time =
by
other hybridizers, like Bianca, Royal Norfolk, Tuddenham.  I would love =
to
grow them all side by side for a comparison.  Royal Norfolk is a very =
good
plant.

Re those that bloom like crazy, Francis Parrett, Little Alice, Elmsett, =
Red
Elmsett, Pink Ice and Wendy Read come to mind.

I have quite a few blooming now, but not sure they would meet all the
requirements.  I would add that a good plant is naturally compact.

Rigel is related to Orion as a very good one.  I love reading the =
British
journals as they often have articles saying which plants of the =
different
hybridizers are their very best work.  And, on some of the British =
websites,
they add to the description 'exhibition variety' and I think that means =
it
is probably a superior plant.  However, the British pinch like heck and =
grow
for showing.

Interesting discussion.

Orion

Adele
grows very slowly and flowers in spring but very little at other times. =
If
the
plant doesn't have a bloom it is hard for me to sell the plant.
