Good question Bill, and the answer (for me at least) is that all those
superior SA's are 'out there' and not growing in my own garden. I set a
pod on SKY HOOKS, using pollen from a fertile IB (CELCIUS) and snapped
the dead flower off without thinking, so my only chance to breed my own
SA is from my cross of SUPREME SULTAN X THORNBIRD. Something much more
like SS than TB, with or without horns,would be acceptable.
As Teresa mentions, I will only be wasting my own time and garden space.
Would anyone out there like these seeds, to save me from my own
stupidity? (Only kidding :-) )
