Re: HYB: Renown offspring

Thanks Betty.

I had pretty much decided to fastrack that cross - only 9 seeds from 2
pods tells me that I probably won't get very good germination, and
possibly won't have great survival of the seedlings.  That's the good
news <g> - few seedlings to handle.  Like you, haven't much of a clue
what the kids will be like.

I tried a lot of crosses with RENOWN - good to hear it passed along
flower size for you.  CE has small blooms here, plus it is a poor
survivor - I've killed several starts of it and this is the first time
it's ever bloomed - very fertile both ways.

cross
                   will do.  If you decide not to pursue this cross, you
can just send the seed
                   to me!  (I didn't get many seed this year either!) I
would hesitate to even
                   guess at the outcome.>
