You know, maybe I should try again. I killed one a few years ago, but looking at it again - the cultural conditions actually should have been a reasonable match with mine.
As a judge of the Taiwanese shows, Carri gets first dibs directly from the best hybridizers before the plants are cloned. These are hobbyist growers like us who are very talented at picking parents to x. Every year they introduce brand new hybrids. It was a wonderful talk and Carri is so enthusiastic! I met her at W. Hartford, CT and Jo and I bought great hybrids from her. Here is a link to photos from the 2010 show. http://bit.ly/ku0pqe
