I found the recessive amoenas WAY back in the chart of LATIN TEMPO. Far enough
back and spread out enough that it's really hard to even calculate the odds that
any of these genes appear in SOSTENIQUE itself. But the possibility is there.
Never fear -- I'm not going to post all these charts! But I thought some of you
might be interested in its known species background:
I. cypriana
I. kashmiriana
I. mesopotamica
I. pallida
I. reichenbachii
I. trojana
All of these appear more than once, some many times. But please bear in mind
that the majority of the lines dead-end with varieties of unknown or unreported
pedigrees. (The first deadend crops up in generation six, and the last in
generation sixteen.
No. Of course I don't do this for every variety I use! But there was such a
wide variety of patterns among these seedlings, with unusually good overall
quality, that I thought it might help me understand what had happened and how I
might get similar results from other crosses.
