Yup.
1992 Dwarf crested X adorable but unidentified MDB. 3 seeds. Weird late
summer dormancy along with the usual winter dormancy. Not crazy about full
sun unless well mulched and regularly watered. Cherry bomb rhizomes (cute).
No bloom yet.....
1998 Dwarf crested X Desert Orange, Pink Caper, Bright Chic (loaded the
pollen). 5 seeds (4 nice, 1 iffy). Previous batch took a minimum of 2
winters before germinating, so........
