Good advice. Two of the little ones are Tets, Little Business seedlings from the same cross, which makes it difficult to find small ones to cross them with. Most of the miniatures are DIps that I have seen (at least all the ones that I have in my garden.)
I do have Madeline Nettles Eyes (21",Tet,2.25",SEv,E,Re,Ext) Bud count is registered as 30 with 4 way branching. Might be fun. The other plus is it just started blooming!

More fun will be crossing the three seedlings I have out of Little Grapette which is a Dip. Here are the three from last year. LGU1, LGU2 and LGU3
This is what LGU1 looked like this year. Bud count and branching are still not great, but I like it
LGU1 FFO 5-10-12
LGU1 5-16-12
I like the FFO better, will have to see what the rest of the blooms look like. It is definitely taking after its Moma, Little Grapette's coloring varies a bit in intensity too.
The other two have not bloomed yet.
