Although the name suggests a relationship to Twist of Fate, Tempting Fate is
from different breeding: (Premonition x Pacific Shores) X Graduation. Duane
Meek and I have both tried crossing Tempting Fate with Fatal Attraction. I
know I didn't get anything very good from the cross, and I am sure Duane
would have let me know if he had. About the best seedlings from Fatal
Attraction to date have come from a cross with Satin Satan. Rest assured that
the dominant amoena gene does not act very dominant when crossed to the
blacks and one or two neglectas out of a cross of several dozen seedlings is
all that can be expected.
It's funny how the seedlings produced by a variety influences a hybridizer's
feelings about it. I take uncommon pleasure in removing a "bad parent" from
the garden! Possibly there are no really bad parents, just ones for which we
haven't found the right partner.
