  Based on my limited experience here the crosses that I think I know won't
work very well are ones with mostly yellow ancestry crossed with lines with
mostly blue/white ancestry, especially if those lines have been selected in
very different
  climates and are fairly inbred.

  ====Anybody else have that experience?

  Linda:
  "......." limited experience here too, but no such observations.  Rippling
River crosses have been tough for me X everything, and I have limited success
in Louisa's Song X whatever blue self.  Timecape x throb (or was it
vice-versa) gave me a lot of healthy hideous mongrels.  Lavender overlay on
yellow base is not usually attractive.
