Hi Tom,

Great cross, thanks for sharing.  Was the pod parent (junonia) a blue or whitish clone?  I have never grown junonia, how tall does your clone grow and how is the bud count?  Sorry for all the questions.  What is the height of the seedling?  Of course the next question, did you test it's fertility?

We love your different crosses.
Bill

Should have taken more pictures of the few that bloomd this year, but here's one that has a subtle beauty. I was surprised how much yellow showed up. Most of the others had more shading of purplish-lilac to gray. But there was also one tall large-flowered dark purple with a thin and floppy substance. That stalk later flowered another bud when the weather had cooled off quite a bit and the form wasn't so bad then.

Once again, took picture in shade and sun to try to catch the color...
