Re: HYB:REB:Report

Well,  I do on occaision do "unplanned" crosses.  I had flowers to spare and I like the flower size and foliage and growth on the Stairway and have like the foliage and growth and rebloom on the Select Circle.  So, I figured why not and see what happens.

Others do this all the time, right?  I imagine they'll be hafty and mostly muddly colors.  Just pick a couple good siblings and cross those and play... if I have the room to grow them.
