I started out with only tets except for my little dip mini bed, and for me the tets always seem to have thicker, sturdier scapes and such elaborate edges on the newer hybrids. But then I saw ROSE F. KENNEDY and I just had to expand my horizons and start buying dips -- such wonderful colors and color combinations! But I always seem to have to stake my dip scapes (I use those circle stakes) because they are so thin in comparison and tend to lean over and wave back and forth in a breeze. And in hybridizing, I only average about 4-6 seeds per pod on my tets -- but some of my dips will give me up to 35-40 seeds per pod!
So for me there are pros and cons to both, and I love 'em all!
