Re: TB: Latin Lover/Ringo (from photos

Griff said:
<Linda and Laurie --  Your photos of LATIN LOVER match what LL looked
like in
                   my garden when I grew it.  The longish falls
(relative to their width) are
                   the principal reason that I didn't use it much in
hybridizing.  I found the
                   shape of RINGO's falls and their more pronounced band
more to my liking.>

RINGO is also a more robust plant here than LL, plus more cooperative
about producing pollen.

These two (LL is in pedigree of RINGO) have both umbrata (WINE AND
ROSES/SHAH JEHAN) and I(s) (WHOLE CLOTH) ancestry.

Another historical question for you Neil - Shoop's pedigrees for these
two mention pink amoena and red-bearded amoena lines.  Do you know if
everybody in that era was starting more or less from the same foundation
lines of pink amoenas and red bearded amoenas?
