Who Knows? but that is 3/4 of the fun. I put Dream Lord Pollen on an
interesting variegata seedling from Supreme Sultan X London Lord. I liked
the seedling bloom, although it only had 2 flowers, and I don't know yet how
the plant will perform. At present it is restricted by an extremely poor
environment. It also has several siblings yet to bloom. These will be the
first interesting second cross seedlings for me. Probably a lot more
predictable than your Throb cross.
Cheers, Jan in Aus.
