HYB: Clara Ellen or...

Just when you got the garden to bed and you think you can curl up with
the newest Tempo Two catalogue...

All of the beds are put away as of today.  I am cleaning up the driveway
(because if I don't, I won't have space to park the car for all the
snow).

Flush up against the foundations and behind a bunch of transplanting
pots I find what had been old bag of potting soil with a label
indicating a self cross of Clara Ellen (Jenkins '93 - a modern spuria)
from last year.

The seeds think it's April, more fool them.  There must be at least
thirty seedlings about an inch tall.  (*&%^*&$(^*%!

I'll have to bring them in; they aren't far enough along to make it
through the winter even with protection.

Of course you know, this means war.  With Maureen's african violets who
are currently residing in MY hydroponics unit.  The annoying aspect of
the whole matter?  It's her cross!

I'm not sure what to expect from the cross.  The pollen parent is
unknown.  We'll be considering this a foliage plant for at least three
years.  Any thoughts?

Regards,

Sandy Ives in Ottawa (z4bish who declares his bloom season over as of
to... WHAT'S THAT BLOOM DOING ON PRECIOUS LITTLE PINK!)
