I only have photos of a few seedlings. I have found that the OGBs will only bloom for a couple years but OGB- can do quite well. Try the RB (regalia breds). They are happier here, but have a different shape. If you join the Aril society, you can buy plants at their sale & have access to the seeds of arils. The late Fred Gadd grew them in a city lot in Connecticut. Our soil is 6.5 so if you can treat it to make it less acid you will have better luck. I stopped crossing them after the one cross, feeling at my age, it was better to take on any more projects. Seedling in the next post.
