Jan,
EARTH SONG (Ev. Kegerise, 1993) and TWO SIDED COIN (Ernst, 1996) have been
the best performers among the more recent yellow/blue-violet bicolors here.
Both have done far better than their Mom, EDITH WOLFORD, whom I gave up on
years ago. TUMULTUEUX (Cayeux, 1995) is also an EW offspring. THRILLSEEKER
(Ernst, 1993), JURASSIC PARK (Lauer, 1995), and BOYSENBERRY BUTTERCUP
(Lauer, 1997) are all EW Grandchildren. EW's pollen parent, FREEDOM ROAD
(Plough, 1976), which I still grow, is also a better performer than she
was.
