Ellen,
No, I don't have a photo. I would call it a lavender blend with a
flash of aqua, and kind of nice form for a dwarf (since many have
essentially species form). If I can get a good photo I'll post it.
Root rot funguses have been a big problem for me, so the fact that
this has had it doesn't disqualify it for breeding purposes. And Bob, the
fact that you got some tall plants out of the cross Pixie Preview X
Precious Doll may just mean that you'll have to go to F2 to see short
plants. You'd have to do that anyway to see colors other than blue from
this cross, right? Or, cross the F1's with other plants with some dwarf
genes, whether they are short or tall.
