HYB: murky gray/yellow (from photos -John's New Baby 03JOu03

A few years ago, just out of curiosity, I crossed a short, nearly black,
small flowered seedling from SIGN OF LEO with a very tall, weak stemmed
murky gray and yellow huge bloomed sibling.

Babies started blooming last year - first was a medium sized pretty
shade of blue with very dark veins.  This year two more - two very tall,
enormous flowered, somewhat weak stemmed (not as bad as the parent),
sibs have bloomed - one is the color of SIGN OF LEO, the other looks
pretty much like ROCOCO - plic.

I made the cross to see how stalk height and bloom size sorted out as
well as just being curious what that murky gray & yellow mess would
throw.  Not even pretending there'd be anything to keep.

Main thing I learned is what Walter Moores and Tom Parkhill keep telling
me - anything can happen. <g>

So many photos being posted right now, thought I'd post this comment
here instead of photos.
