Betty,
Your Peach Spot crosses sound interesting.
You wouldn't happen to have any photos of some of those seedlings would you?

Does PEACH SPOT
Linda, I can answer some of
your questions about PS.
From three rhizomes of PS I had 10 or
12 stalks, in 1987. This was it's prettiest year. It looked like a
clump of butterflies. I remember it being scant on foliage that year as
the short stalks seemed to almost rise from the ground.
According to
my records, I set pods on 9 of those stalks, and about as many using the
pollen. It gave a number of vigorous plants. It tends to give low bud
count when used as pod parent.
In my judgement, it gave prettier
seedlings when used as a pollen plant, but I did like several seedlings with
PS by Vanity. There were a couple of excellent, but short seedlings from a
cross with ORANGE STAR. Got an orange amoena from this one.
Dave
Niswonger used it in CHAMPAGNE ELEGANCE. I believe it's also in the
backgound of several of his other pink amoenas and pinks. I got a couple of
rebloomers (yellow amoenas) when I used CE on Immortality.
I got
one seedling that rebloomed, one time, from PEACH SPOT X HIGHLAND CHIEF. But
both are only carriers or CA rebloomers at best. I had PS for years but,
don't see anything in my records where I used it directly with stronger
rebloomers. Sorry.
