Yes indeed, Betty! Garden name for ((IMM x CSONG) x TWILIGHT FANCIES)) X MATRIX is "kate" (I don't know why!)
"kate" X "gold" (dark yellow from TEA LEAVES X GOLDEN PANTHER). A chance these two will go together well - "kate" is short (maybe - not sure yet), somewhat soft substance, needs some width, not sure about branching & bud count - only a few blooms this spring, but the miserable stalk out there now tried to put on quite a few; "gold" is tall and has TL's stalk tendency to sprawl, but good substance, width, form, high bud count, ok branching. ~100 seeds, 2 pods. Good sign to have that many seeds from two pods. And now that I've seen how well those FINAL EPISODE X (teamat) seedlings turned out, am eager to see more TL descendants.
13MAT X "kate". 13MAT is cream-near white colored occasional summer bloomer : (IMM x CSONG) X MATRIX. It's short, low bud count, boring color, but good width and substance, I think. Not a great cross, but the only other one that took. And onlyy 15 seeds. Not a good omen.
<Linda, genetically speaking, this one is definitely a keeper. Did you get seed from it this spring?>
