Jill, sometimes you have to be pushy! When I was starting out, I'd
corner anyone that had made crosses and bug them with questions. When
I ran out of fresh people at the Regional meetings, including the
speakers, then I wrote to people. I remember them all fondly! Even
the ones that laughed at me for breeding rebloomers. ;-)

I have special memories of Dr. Raymond Smith, Dr. Weiler and Dr. Lloyd
Zurbrigg, but there were many more. Lots of very nice people.

And to Linda, I think the solution may be to save this seedling until
you find that "perfect" plant, then introduce them both! Hate to see
you discard such a promising plant.Â

I do so enjoy all the posts on this list. I'm a perennial lurker, but
couldn't help but chime in today. Thanks for all your good information.
