Walter, be glad you didn't make this cross, believe me, ever single
one was what you call double uglies, flimsy stalked small flowered
lavender-blue with white lines, just terrible. (I thought crossing 2
Dykes
Medal winners would get me a Dykes Medal) Ha Ha, I've got a lot to learn.

I purchased Art School Angel for SA work but it's never performed
well here, and since I've used Mesmerizer for several years, i have
white spaceagers coming out of my ears.

Walter, you couldn't be more right on the money, my best so far with
T-bird
is Thornbird X Ever After, a clean red maroon with decent form.
