Hi Daniel, sorry I missed your post, my apologies.

Yes, Blue-Eyed Butterfly might work very well, thank you for the suggestion. I have a few older Lambertsons that I can cross with Dreamy Drawing: Eyes-A-Blue, Intricate -Eyes, Blue-Eyed Butterfly, Blue Jay Way and Jenny Butterfield are all in my garden.

Intricate Eyes has that lovely triangular pointed eye too so that might be a good one.

Mokan Butterfly might be a good one to cross with too as it has a beautiful eye colour here and is VERY white and I got tet 'In the Navy' this year which I am taking a chance on as I couldn't find the dip version. If it survives and is fertile I can try that.

Other ones I have and could use are 'Threshold of a Dream' (which should be a good hardy cross for Europe/North), Lake Effect and both Ann Hathaway's Garden and Blue Spring are TETs so I shall have plenty of choice.

I actually have more tets than I thought, oh, forgot Mystical Rainbow and then I have my Gold and orange ones but I don't want to cross gold/orange with pink/purple, just a personal thing but I know from doing hair colours-if you put purple hair dye on ginger hair you get MUD! Rolling on the floor laughing

I bought just one TET seed cross this year, Crayola Explosion x Whale Tails and I have some tet seeds from Valerie/touchofsky so in a few year's time I might have something nice there too.

I am always open to suggestions.

LOVE those Spunky seedlings, I think I might have to have a trip to America and raid Fred's seed stash when he isn't looking! Rolling on the floor laughing
