Amazing breakthroughs, indeed! It's such an exciting time to hybridize, with incredible material easily available, and free access to DL information. What a cool community! And upon the shoulders of giants, we stand (or teeter, depending on the challenge de jour.) I've been posting pics, and here are a few memorable ones from 2020:

Irish Mixup, with a letter-sized sheet of paper as size reference. Thank you, Judy Davisson, for bringing this plant into the world- to bloom like this in a pot in it's first season! Color is quite a bit bluer than it looks here.

And Diviner's Handbook by Curt Hanson, with its branching and monstrously sturdy scape. That scape set and held 16 pods! And in a pot, too. (Sorry, plants. Will put you in the ground soon.)

I think they set some seeds together, and here's hoping the rebloom will be expressed. Crossing Fingers! Thank You!
