John,  

DV did not grow well for me.  I made a cross with it and have 4 surviving 
seedlings.  I'd considered using one of these IF something decent blooms.  It's 
another half plicata cross, but to the red side.  I think all 4 have pbf!  

I'm have VERY bad results with my DOUBLE DRIBBLE crosses.  I've three 
different crosses and the one with DD as the pod parent are all mal-formed plants 
with poor growth. Transplanted 30 plants in the spring and I doubt I'll get even 
one good one.

I used pollen on two different seedlings.  One has strong & healthy plants 
while the other doesn't look so great.
