I love this sort of post, Francelle. I'd like to hear of crosses
others have made and how they turned out; what crosses made toward
what goals, etc. While I wait for my first seedlings to bloom.

alive. If any survive until cooler weather, they will have taken the
worst that Arizona heat can do to them. I don't know if I expect any
of them to rebloom though. Mariposa Skies hasn't. If I get a good
seedling from them, I will breed it to another blue rebloomer and
hope for the best.

cross with Celebration Song has produced some lovely seedlings. I am
really interested to see what this Mother Earth cross will give. ME
bloomed for me the first time this spring, and I really liked it.
One of Pink Lenox's parents is Twice Thrilling, so it may have some
rebloom genes.
