Most of the crosses have been with SA seedlings and RE seedlings. The most
promising seedlings have come out of CELEBRATION SONG x HEARTBREAK HOTEL and
CELEBRATION SONG x J-124: (SWEET MUSETTE x TWICE THRILLING) X (IN TOWN x
SWEET MUSETTE). A couple of possible intros out of those. ]

That's too bad because Sweet Musette is turning out to be a great parent for
us. You know I bet I could send you a couple of plants that will grow like
weeds in your garden, if you would like that let me know.
