[SpaceAgeRobin] SA Pod

I gathered the single take this week.  10 seeds from a SOLAR FIRE X TBIRD Sdlg.  This is far out of my usual collection.  I'm looking at more than 1300 seeds gathered this year and I didn't plant everything from last year.  Mostly they are some kind of AB derivative.  I'm short on prepared space, so I'm sure to hold over a lot of the pods for another time.  I also made some other straight TB crosses.  I haven't done that in several years.  This year there were zero bee pods so far as I know.  At least every plant that had a pod had been fiddled with and anything untouched didn't have any pods.  I have had clearly contaminated crosses in the past, but not often.  I'm wondering if I do plant the seeds and raise one or more to bloom how many of them may resemble THORNBIRD.  Neither of the parents do, but both have Tbird as a parent.  Looking at seedlings from Chris and others that have Tbird as a parent makes me think just about anything is possible.  It seems to throw a wide variety of color and pattern amongst the progeny.
