RE: HYB: Into the Night X Wild Card

---

I agree the colors of this one aren’t distinctive.  I liked the BALCS seedling much better.  I know what you mean about not getting your hopes up for something with poor stalks and bud count.  Yet I have a regret over one I trashed six weeks ago.  It was the brightest, most unusual color pattern in the whole field.  Weak as it was, I should have kept it to see what it would do.

Another one that my visitor liked that I had been panning.  Maiden
bloom.  It has great height, bud count, reasonably good branching and
bud placement, health to suit me, but seems like a dime a dozen bloom.

Would appreciate comments on this one too.

It's the result of my misunderstanding some early discussions about
umbrata, luminata, & plicata heredity.  Chuck suggested I try some kind
of cross that I thought was umbrata x plicata.  INTO THE NIGHT was the
only fertile umbrata and WILD CARD the only fertile plicata at the time,
broken color was just what I had - no intent  for broken color kids.

Thanks for all the positive feedback on the BALCS seedling.  Will
definitely line that one out for more evaluation.
