I agree with Mike, Colleen and Chuck that there are plenty of fertile IB's
around now.
My experience began with Barry Blyth's MAGIC CHILD. It took to everything I
tried, but never set a bee pod. My first to bloom were Magic Child X
Celcius, and I have crossed both ways with the seedlings-
ZOWIE (SDB) X Seedling 1
Seedling 2 X IT'S A GIGGLE(IB)
Both gave me large pods, full of healthy looking seed, that will be planted
very soon.
MAGIC CHILD X LYRIQUE only gave 5 seeds, one of which is still struggling
on, but hasn't yet bloomed. It is probably tiring of life in a pot, and
needs to be planted out. I will persist with it, because it is such an
interesting cross.
Cheers, Jan in Aus
