needrain said:Many of us use what is growing when we get out and daub. I think about what's there, though. Year before last when I made the cross of (Purple Many Faces x Skinwalker), both from Ned Roberts and (Dizzy Damselfly x Art Gallery Etching) both from Lambertson, I figured if those crosses had any merit the hybridizers would have already done them enough to have explored the likely possibilities. Crosses that are less likely to have been made often are interesting to watch. I had a seedling putting on a very late scape and it bloomed today. I kind of doubt it's been made very often, but it's been fun to watch. Here's a couple of photos of (Galaxy Explosion x Milady Greensleeves). The buds are so skinny I thought the bloom might be as well, but only the sepals are very narrow. Bloom never flattened out, but similar in size to the parents.
