Betty,
I made 88 successful crosses this year, all have at least one reblooming
parent.  Seed count was good and all are planted in pots at this time.  I
did get a small pod on Violet Miracle x Jennifer Rebecca-11 fully formed
seeds.  I cross by color, pedigree and impulse-hopeful crosses for color,
vigor and rebloom-Eternal Bliss x Tenderly; Pearls of Autumn x After the
Dawn, Stellar Lights x Lace Jabot, Sugar Snaps x Candy Rock (ib's), Rodeo
Star x Blatant, Dawn of Change x Ringo, Edith Wolford x Final Episode.  EW X
FE was a just before I left for convention cross and the only successful
cross with FE I made this year.  I just planted Copper Classic last fall, it
had one beautiful bloom stalk and I crossed it with Hoosier Pride pollen,
only on take but 25 good seeds and am wondering just what it will throw.  I
am hoping for better germination this year, some of last years pots were
sprouting seedlings in mid October, what a suprise.  Will they live through
the winter outdoors sprouting that late or will I need to move them indoors?
