Re: Novelty BB: Fran's Flattie

Hi Dave,
I planted 43 seeds from my cross of Cybernet X Rhythm
last fall and this spring 31 germinated. Surprisingly,
the seedlings are large and robust. I thought the
seedlings would be smaller and grassier than the TB
crosses. I will keep the group posted if anything
interesting comes of this cross. I believe the flat
blooming trait can be passed on. Mike Sutton has flat
seedlings from pollen he found on Six Pack.
