Loving them all, and those multi-colored beards are awesome. Some really unique ones there for sure. I would be hard pressed to pick just one, that's for sure.
but still have quite a few that have not bloomed so hopefully something else different from that cross it had everything else LOL ...Chestnut's Roasting is another one that has given some fun seedlings it has a lot of Joe's Reds in the background of it so I tried to use it with some of his newer Reds( Iconic) and got good results on the few that bloomed... next year try using the pollen it is very fertile I could not get it to set pods either and I tried a lot this year because it grows so well here. I think with the 2nd year of bloom you get to see exactly what it's going to do all those things can change except for color most of these had good branching and looked to be increasing well they just didn't have the buds, the one you liked only had 4 ..the last one of the bunch that was my favorite with all the pinks in it lacked the ruffles but it had everything else so hoping I can add some too it over time. and find a few to use for parents that will pass on good qualities and hopefully get them in a bunch of different colors. I think what's fun about pollen daubing is that they don't have to fit anyone's standard other than your own most commercial gardens would have tossed these because they lacked buds or branching but when your doing this for your own entertainment none of the rest of that matters unless you want to market it and give them names then they must perform, but my goals are getting them to survive our winters and find some new color patterns with ruffles so they don't fall apart in our spring storms, my thinking is if it is unique and lives through -20 in January here I'll find a spot for it 
I had a hard time choosing which one's to keep this was another cross that had a lot of good colors in it can't wait to see the rest of them.
but I don't have them all to share. I don't remember there being any duds in this cross they all had nice colors. I kept most of them for another year to look at them again and see how they grow.
I crossed it to a number of Joe's plants hoping for a bunch of different shades of pinks or white's with that form and although only 2 bloomed last year from the cross with Magical they both were a step in the right direction 
Thanks glad you like them and I'll keep you in mind. Have you done any pollen daubing your self ? I really enjoyed the MBIS show this year there were some nice seedlings on the show benches.
I like both, leaning toward the warmer colors of the second one. 
no complaints here we Love Oranges 
)--it has depth and looks textural without looking crepey or rough.
preferrably in a wide assortment of color. will see what the future brings no plans for that anytime soon there are lot's of beautiful things that are coming from Oregon and California that are the total package, wait until we get to the pictures from Joe's and Kieth's gardens you will have a lot to get excited about from them over the next couple years and I hope I can convince you to make a couple crosses yourself this spring at home its a lot of fun and gives us all something to do and look forward to over the long winter months. If it wasn't for Paul sharing the process with us years ago on Cubits I would have never tried,(Thanks Again Paul !!) once I figured out how easy it really is I have had a blast watching them grow from a seed to bloom. Do you have Magical yet if not remind me in the spring I will have plenty of it to share again and for ruffled pinks it's the one. I had a couple of bee pods this year and was a little excited about trying to grow them... then my gardener cut them off
