Very nice. Intreging colours.
Choice of partner depends on where you want to go.
Fist, what height are you looking fo. With TB mostly TBs, occasional BB. With SDB, IBs .

It is basically a light yellow with falls lighly washed anthocyanin. An amoena. Amoena characterics can be worked with, to 
another amoena to get anthocyanin to rim, as per 'Emma Cook'. Choose parner with light anthocyanin for washed, pastel effect, 
good potential here.
Also probably has three tangerine genes so will produce 50% tangerine (pink) offspring. A nice possibility would be 'Sonjah's 
Selah' which is a pink amoena with light anthocyanin wash on falls.  This would produce mostly BBs with half yellow standard, 
half with pink standards. Falls with a variation of anthocyanin in intensity and some with anhocyanin washed around yellow or  
pink centers. The anthocyanin with yellow or pink will produce some interssting colous. Look to Blyth's amoenas to see what 
possibilities this would produce. Als a number of Blyth's amoenas would be a good possibility.
