Avedon said:@ Hortaoholic--- Ann, yes, there were five seeds planted from this cross and four made it. All of them produced flowers and I kept three. All have fragrance, I especially notice it on Seedling #1.
@Avedon, Thank you so very much for sharing the results of this cross! It's very informative to see the variation that can occur even among 4 seedlings.
I'm glad to know the fragrance was passed along! And I like seeing that the form can favor one or the other rather than being the "average" in every direction.
I started a thread - last month! - which I haven't followed through with yet because I've been exploring websites thither and yon.
I asked for suggestions of potential yellow tetraploids as parents to breed one that would rebloom in 5b where my daughter lives. I want to name it for her. I intended to use 'Gisela's Sunshine' (Pete Mondron) as one parent, it's a sunny yellow self that performs beautifully here.
Several people offered helpful suggestions and I will follow up when I settle on the candidates. I have 'Mister Butters' rated as one of the top 3 or 4, so I was very interested in these results. Thanks again for sharing! Photos especially welcome!
I wish growers would share information like this about a lot of crosses!
Ann
