Hi Jai,

Thanks for your detailed response to Lizzie.

That yellow Haageana has a nice rich color combination. I planted some Haageanas (Jazzy Mix), hoping to get a 3Z that I could cross with some of my Hybridas, but no joy. I didn't get any threesies. I'll wait and see what their blooms look like. The Jazzy Mix is essentially the same as Persian Carpet.

I had forgotten how small Haageana seeds are. I think I will plant my South Garden (it is my smaller garden) mainly to Whirligigs. Maybe all Whirligigs. I still have some old commercial seed onhand, as well as some I saved in previous years.

This current indoor Z. hybrida bloom shows some strong Haageana influence in its "pointy" petal form.
