Re: Freshly cleaned disk!/hybridizing goals

Hi Dennis,
No apology necessary as what happened was totally by accident and others
should have their computers up to a minimum standard to deal with such
happenings.
Your ideas on the inter species crosses sound very interesting, so when
can we expect to see some photos of these crosses from you? I think once
a person gets into hybridizing the sky's the limit or your imagination
at the very least.
