Have often wondered why it has not been used more in hybridizing, so this is a good surprise.

They may be they 6 week old seedlings, or plants you have tended for three years or more before seeing their first flowers. This makes it less painful to cultivate crosses that take at least two years to bloom.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153593289512217730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388607555310531935.post-70423764943625027912010-03-01T13:26:52.870-08:002010-03-01T13:26:52.870-08:00Also, I can't wait to see the flower colors he...Also, I can't wait to see the flower colors here, (..if they were mine I would love to see deep shocking scarlet reds).<br /><br />I admire your PATIENCE here! I am not so sure I can muster such a degree of long-term patience myself, lol.<br /><br />I wish someone would come up with some trick to get them to ALL bloom in the first few months following germination, regardless of genetics. <br /><br />Hmmmm.....*scratches head*.xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995510421525105770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388607555310531935.post-85526553872299122302010-03-01T05:53:34.498-08:002010-03-01T05:53:34.498-08:00I hope it has the disease resistance of 'WB...I hope it has the disease resistance of 'WB'!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153593289512217730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388607555310531935.post-37871927414516556682010-02-28T13:24:18.091-08:002010-02-28T13:24:18.091-08:00That lime green glossy foliage looks truly magnifi...That lime green glossy foliage looks truly magnificent.xxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995510421525105770noreply@blogger.com
