Re: HYB: CHUBBY CHEEKS AND SIBLINGS

Hi Patricia,

It really is a lot of fun to photograph the parents you are using in
a 
particular cross.  Later you can go back and see some of the 
particular characteristics of that variety that your mind may have 
forgotten.  It is also fun to do the "family photo album" (pictures
at 
least of the more interesting offspring) for all your friends and 
family to see - and especially us.  HAVE FUN!
