What I  meant about HARVEST OF MEMORIES is that I think Chuck said that
it doesn't  have the precursors (or post-cursors, if that's a word) for
production of  pink or orange pigments.


Linda, I rarely expect miracles in first generation!  I'm not  expecting 
seedlings of superior quality from this cross. Creating a quality  orange 
reblooming seedling in this generation was not my goal.  However,  I'll take it if it 
shows up!  
 
My intention was to capture the other qualities of the plant and pass them  
on.  
 
These seedlings, being more or less half orange, should pass that  quality on 
to it's children.   This was my goal.  So long as HOM  doesn't BLOCK orange 
from it's seedlings, I'm okay!  (??)
 
0803-pink does prove that pinks have been used in orange breeding  before! 
;-)
