Re: MOONRAKER X DESERT MOONLIGHT sdlg

Donald,

Thanks for sharing !  The Standards look kind of Aril like, the falls
are slightly odd looking for a TB.  It's very interesting to know that
Aril genes are hiding in there somewhere.  Let us know what the second
seedling looks like.

"I had another
cross of the type bloom today that looked like the arilbred pollen
parent -
complete with a signal pattern, but it will be a bloomout."

bring it on !

Chris
