Not likely at my age. However, I am interested in having fun with the
crosses. I just had a bit of trouble carrying out my plans due to the lack
of bloom, different bloom times, no pollen about the middle of bloom
season (weather related maybe?) and probably the biggest factor being
inexperience in the process. But then I did end up with all those seeds
using SATAN'S MISTRESS when I didn't expect anything at all and those
would be less than 1/4 aril and it would be nice to transfer that colorfast
quality to a good brown or red. Not to mention the depth of color it
displays. So far those in that color range tend get washed out in our
sun.
