Re: TB: Silverado

From: StorYlade@aol.com

I have a couple of Silverado children.  Silverado X Immorality,a beautiful 
ruffled snow white, but not in bloom this year.  Silverado X Latin Lady is 
scheduled to open on sunday.  I had thrown this one on my bank at the old 
place.  Others were prettier with better blooms.  Then we had a bad winter a 
couple of years back and guess which one survived?  It is a bicolor in the 
right direction.  It has great height and branching but the form leaves a 
little to be desire.  Still a good breeder(I hope). I was not happy with the 
local growth of the SWEETER THAN WINE color class and had hoped to add 
strength and form to this color pattern. The ultimate goal?  A plant with the 
growth and form of Silverado ( gee, I'm sorry, but it grows for me!) with 
white or very pale pink standards and plum purple falls. Preferably with a 
fall rim or band in the standard color.

Seems like you should be able to cross the things that grow well in your area 
with the color patterns you like and eventually get something you like that 
grows well in your area.    

I'm getting a lot of short or mutated stalks on seedlings.  Anyone else 
having such trouble?

default system!  Grrrrrr!
