RE: SA cross

Glad you posted this one Mike.  It looked stellar in the Bannockburn Church Garden in Austin this year.  Even after rain the night before we were there it was holding up with terrific substance, something we know whites can seriously lack!

 

I’m personally not a fan of white flowers but if they’ve got substance, that’s progress in my book.  I think this one has kind of a platinum look to it anyway.  Attached is my photo from that garden this year.

Hi Barb,

We are many generations past Mesmerizer but it still is back in the lines.  Attached is Pure Innocence which came out of American Eagle which was Silverado X Mesmerizer.  It is a nice parent but it needs to be crossed with something wider than it if you are going after more modern form.
