Good crosses, Francelle.  I like 75-63 A very much.  The white veins contrast beautifully.  --  Griff

These two seedlings have the same parents in reverse order.  The first is Wearing Rubies X Epicenter.  The second is Epicenter X Wearing Rubies.  I found these two crosses quite interesting.  The first produced about 15 blacks of varying intensity.  The second were mostly red bitones similar to Wearing Rubies.  75-63 A was the only lined one in the bunch.  What is this pattern called?

I had hoped that there might be some rebloom here since both parents are reported to be produce rebloomers.  Some of the 63-74 A siblings boomed very early, but nothing has rebloomed for me this year except Amethyst Winter and Pearls of Autumn which got frozen, of course.

I crossed a very early, very black sibling of 63-75 A with white, rebloomer, Cloud Reflection.  I am hoping for vigorous, pink rebloomers and am just starting to plant the seeds now.  I wonder what I will get.
