Dear Griff: One cannot keep everything. My last piece of CARMEL SUNDAe
went to Donald in Georgia last summer. BAROQUE PRELUDE is one that I should
still have kept, but do not have. The push toward rebloomers rather
upstaged the search for recessive amoenas., But this is a full sib to I DO,
so should be good for both in your breeding. Lloyd Z in Durham SC
