Walter. . . once again, thanks so much for sharing info. on what colors to
cross to get better offspring. As I said, I am a novice at this, but had
never heard that. I'll have to remember that for next year's efforts.
This year I successfully crossed: BOOGIE WOOGIE X BEAUX ARTS, MOONLIT SEA X
MABEL ANDREWS, and LIGHTNING STREAK X MYSTIQUE (all in addition to the
THORNBIRD cross.) Looks pretty random, huh? I guess I'll just see what I
get.
I also have two seedlings growing outside now from last year's crosses. The
parents are: DESIGNING WOMAN X MEZMERIZER.
