I agree about being more interested in wide crosses. It may be
easier to achieve unique combinations of characteristics than to produce
subtle improvements on inbred strains. Too bad I didn't save pollen from a
reblooming flounced plicata seedling with overlapping falls a few weeks ago.
I see a hint of stalk formation on Anaconda Love. Now THAT would be
interesting. Just looking at all the new shoots poking out from my Spirit
World x Epicenter cross. YES!!!!
