Thank you to all for the kind compliments. I can't take credit for the cross, though. LA purchase.

Daniel - I had 3 seeds of that particular cross. One seed never germinated, the other 2 (which includes the one above labeled as DDD13) are still alive. DDD14 has not bloomed yet for me. Probably next year.

I also have several other crosses using Game Face. I did not do the crossing of these seeds. They were LA purchases. I liked the ruffling and look of the parents, so I bid and won those auctions for quite cheap! (I had very few bidding against me for some reason. Probably timing and luck!) I think the above Mystic Image x Game Face seeds were actually Bonus Seeds from a different seed cross auction win.

Here is another cross of Game Face. This is Game Face x Born to Be Wild (DDD17):
Thumb of 2016-09-12/beckygardener/f089ca

Born to Be Wild is the pollen parent of Game Face as seen above in my pedigree chart. I thought it interesting that this particular bloom had much more pastel colors. Just goes to show that you never really know for sure what you will get until the seedling blooms. And even then, they can change over the first 3 years of blooming before they stabilize and may wind up looking different than their first bloom.

Gerry - Do you see the resemblance in this one, too? Game Face is apparent, to my eyes.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
