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.

This question is mostly for those of you working with TBs with modern
(wide) form.

If you cross two TBs with excellent width, what kind of variability of
width do you get in the seedlings? I'm guessing that depends on the
parents, with some combinations giving a higher percentage of wide blooms
than others.

??
==>>Which leads to my 'real' question - are there any parents that seem to 
be better at producing a higher percentage of wide children than others?

Bah, humbug! We had three inches of new snow yesterday on top of all that 
still on the ground.

It doesn't look like spring will ever come.
