Re: HYB: seedling form - variability?

BALDERDASH and BRAGGADOCIO produced some seedlings with good width from some retro parents,  and I agree with Colleen-  SNEEZY also produced good width here when used with narrow parents.
   
  TEMPLE OF TIME also produced decent width in what I've seen from it on the PINK ATTRACTION seedlings.  
   
  The one that I was surprised by was I DO.  We got by far the best ruffling out of the I DO crosses.
