I don't know the song, but it seems that sometimes the best things come
from the most unlikely sources. I am reminded of the hybridizers tale where the
first cross was not deemed profitable, yielded 3 seeds and only one seedling -
and it was good enough to introduce. Another tale has it that Blythe's young
daughter made one cross and named her seedlings before they flowered, and sure
enough one did get introduced despite the odds.
Mine is JEWEL BABY (SDB) x SCENTED BUBBLES (TB) and I hope for horns and
rebloom in an IB and I expect much less (knowledge bites, ignorance is bliss)

Chad, have you heard the song "Lightning Flashes"? This struck me as
appropriate to this situation.
I have one seed pod on COME WHAT MAY but it has another fan that did not
bloom so I'm not that worried. That, and that is my ONLY seed pod and
it's definitely a bee cross.
