TB:Using Romantic Evening as a Parent

Neil,

It is good to read your emails and to find you to be your old chipper 
self again.

You suggested using ROMANTIC EVENING in a post three years or 
so ago, and I picked up on that immediately.  Several seedlings 
from crosses using its pollen bloomed this year, and all that have 
bloomed have been keepers - or at least worthy of a second look 
next year.  Some are still unbloomed, so that makes me anxious for 
next year's crop of maiden bloom.

Arctic Fox x Romantic Evening gave me the seedling I won an EC 
on last week at our show.  I have smeared its pollen on just about 
everything.  We had a week without rain, and that has helped in the 
daubing department.

I also have some really pretty reds out of Hello Darkness x 
Romantic Evening and some other reds out of Edna's Wish x RE.
Star Fleet x RE has produced some purple bi-tones.

Continued success in hybridizing!
