Good ideas Colleen !
Be warned Wish upon a time is quite hard to
pollinate, it's better to use it's pollen, that is a bit like Romantic
Evening's, VERY efficient!

Hi
Bruce
I?d be
tempted to cross it with a dark with a very light beard such as Obsidian or
Mountain Majesty. Alternatively you could try some of Paul Black?s dwarfs with
a white beard such as Puddy Tat or Wish Upon A Star.
Have
fun

This is the last of this
years seedling selects, and unfortunately another where the flower is not
remarkable. The thing that saved
it from the trash pile
is the beards. They make a statement, noticeable fron 50 yards
across the field. I have saved this for future
breeding, although I have no
idea with what. I would like to have the basic flower coloration with the
contrasting
beards, just with much better
form. Any ideas? STARRING X MIDNIGHT OIL
