This group has a number of hybridizers so please reinforce what Bob has told
Kenny. Repetition will make it believed at the gut level as well as the
intellectual level. There aren't that many California hybridizers of
Siberians and we don't want to lose any to frustration when it can be
avoided. In private conversations with Michael Zarky, it seems like he is
making headway with his goal of getting Southern California tollerant
Siberians.
I have a hybridizing question for the group. Is Strawberry Fair worthwhile
as a parent from a bloom perspective? I have a very nice clump and would
consider it worthwhile just for that reason.
Gull's Wing has a bloom and that will be my last one for this year.

> Welcome Kenny -- double welcome as a new hybridizer. If you give us a
little information regarding your goals, I'm sure you will get some
knowledgable advice. Here's one bit quite unsolicited. Use the very best
parents you can get your hands on, whether you can afford them or not. The
time wasted and frustrations suffered by using inferior parents are much
more expensive! It's really easy to produce fairly good new seedlings, but
producing very good ones means using the best (and often most recent)
parents from other hybridizers. And then visit their gardens, if you can, so
that you can see what they have coming along for introduction in three to
five years because that tells you whether you are competitive. Good luck!
