Thanks, Walter, I did get WISH and MAGIC WISH last year, hoping
they'll bloom and be useful in the project next spring. I heard of
SHIRLEY M. from this group and already have it on my order form from
Riverview (whose 2001 catalog is now available -- $4.50 from them, if
someone else wants to order it; best price I've found so far.) It
does have tangerine in the throat, but I've found none that don't, so
am planning to use pinks with at least partial non-tangerine beards
for my initial crosses, with the best pinks (in form, branching,
etc.) I can afford..
Thanks for your input.
Patricia
