Thanks !! I liked the hafts also in the 2nd one and I picked up the beards from Rainbow High.. but my favorite of that group was the last white with yellow in the center it bloomed last and the flowers lasted a long time.
the standards were better on it then showed the picture was taken after I dug in it for pollen.. something I seemed to do that a lot this year 
need to show a little more restraint and take picture then open the standards for pollen 
One of my projects was to get a updated (All About Spring) there is nothing like it in those colors and thought let's see what happens with (Decadence) it certainly adds ruffles to it's kids but was not sure if I could get the color from (All about spring) to pass through.. was not expecting a lacy Orange from that cross.. I am starting to think you can get just about anything from breeding to Decadence... There may be some show up with that pattern in the falls of Cold fusion cross those 3 were all that bloomed was hoping for that pattern in the Serena Louisa colors... I thought the 1st one was nice it had good form to it I crossed it to Bravery. and yes 13-16 was 3 different plants I kept the first 2 of them.
the color of these pictures show it as more purple because they were taken in full sun but up close it is Blue and I expect it will be a wonderful parent. I'm not sure if Keith has seedlings from it yet I have not had time to study my oregon pic's yet but this would be my first choice. In the back ground of it you find (Sea Power) on the Silk Road side so there is a good possibility I could get some Blues out of it and I would bet they would be loaded with Ruffles The others shown below are newer plants that I grow that could be possibilities and expect some Blues to come from them and all but 1 trace back to (Sea Power). The 1st 2 shown are siblings to the parent of my seedling (Ride The Waves) both have excellent form and different shades of colors they may be fun to cross together and with it. I also really like (My Lady's Manor) it comes from (My Beloved) and (Sea Power) mixed together with that pedigree there should be some ruffled Blues.
