RE: CULT:No care - 10 yr survivors

Hello Linda,
I don't think I have any pictures. But from what I
remember of that batch from years ago... they were not
a particularly beautiful lot. I guess "muddy" is how
it's usually described. Tints of yellowness and tints
of purple combining to make fairly ugly shades of
dingy brownish or gray. I was [even more] naive when I
made that cross -- thinking that maybe I'd get a red
[like Spartan] rebloomer. But with what I've learned
over the years, I wouldn't say that the cross was a
total failure. Those seedlings still could be good
breeders, especially in light of their determination
to live. So, I guess that my strategy now, would be to
intercross the surviving seedlings.

In any case, now that we're living there, I'll be
taking a little better care of those seedlings. So
maybe I can get some pictures in the near future.
