I like the unpredictable crosses too, though mixing blues and yellows or
plics and solids can have disgusting results. I tried an off-the-wall one
this year. When Throb bloomed (love it's brightness, no good babies for me
yet) I had nothing that made an obvious match. I tried Dream Lord. That
makes a brilliant fiery cadmiun yellow x a weird oyster / scorched burgandy
bitone (does that sound about right, my memory of DL isn't very clear).
What will that produce?
