Susan, send me some pollen and you and I will have some fun! I'll pollenate a couple different mixed Harlequins I have here and send you some seed later this Fall.

I need to correct and clarify my earlier post which strongly inferred that Susan's 'Prairie Harlequin' is part of the original Harlequin Group by Jan de Graaff (OBF). I thought it was. I was wrong. It is not. I had assumed that 'Prairie Harlequin' was one of the original selections de graaff made and cloned from his 'Mid- Century Group' as some were named. These colorful selections would later become known as the Harlequin Group, the one we're all much more familiar with whenever the name Harlequin comes up. But the Harlequin Group has totally different parentage: ( L. lancifolum X L hollandicum ) X L. maculatum. And, as Connie stated, the cultivar 'Prairie Harlequin' is a cross made by Skinner between two L. davidii derived from unknown pollen each. Needless to say then, any crossing that I might try with Susan's 'Prairie Harlequin' and the Harlequin Group has most likely already been tried by Mr. Skinner or any one of the bulb farmers in the area who did contract growing. But, I'll give it a try anyway. Again, sorry if I mislead anybody earlier.
