Will ,Thanks for this history.Pink horns and flounces from TWICE 
THRILLING are noteworthy.

Chris, Thanks fro the comment on his medians. Scanning his intros did 
show a lot of medians. I still doubt the no horned seedlings part but 
have a SA Re MTB sized seedling except for oversized pink blooms with 
red horns or pink flounces. It would be great to get the bloom size down 
to MTB proportion.

Fate must mean for us to use it for something considering we picked it 
up on the dollar table AFTER the very agile fingers of George Sutton 
passed over it...

Only time will tell

Thanks Again
Michael M. Stockton, Ca.;aka Muddville,home of the mighty Casey.
