TB: SKATING PARTY X 'Lumiere d'Automne'

---

TBs are beginning to bloom out here now. Good show in the garden. Hardly
anything is branching, but the clumps are compensating with lots and lots of
stalks per clump. I posted a couple of siblings from this cross last year.
They were better. I like the golden heart and shoulders that came from L
d'A and which the wind aided in showing, but it's missing substance. The
taupe color isn't something I like all that well either, though I'm
surprised that I don't really hate it. One of the siblings last year also
had it and it wasn't as objectionable as I'd have thought there either. I'd
envisioned a muddy color from the cross. It sort of fits that, but it isn't
especially muddy.
