Thanks everybody I'm glad you guys like 17-16 it seems to be the total package has the form I like, good stems, and grows and increases well not quite enough stock to get serious about just yet probably a couple years out but it's on the list as a possibility in the future.
Les.. Yes it did 12-12B is now Tropical Vibes and the sib to it 12-12F is a coffee color
that I think you will like called Mocha Frappe think an updated Coffee Trader both should be released next year
I haven't done a whole lot of work with Brown tones but will make some crosses next year with some more of Barrys things and see where they go starting to realize how popular they are had lots of garden visitors stop and ask about Man Cave.
Laurie.. My notes say yes Cherry On Top does have a slight fragrance ..on reds I really like Cherokee Blaze and Hearts on Fire from the Painters both are very good and I have been doing a lot of work with both of them if you can find them somewhere there definitely worth adding to the garden.. Iconic is another wonderful red and for something unique get Catch The Fever.
Tom.. Thank you will be interesting to see what you come up with combining those 2
virtually anything is possible both parents have Blyth pedigrees you could get anything .
The parent to 19-54 is different it is a sib to the one I sent you 13-49B my little white one you liked when visiting it is now called Sculpted and one I really hoped to have enough to intro this year it is a good parent and I have been using it a lot on everything
very fertile and will set pods easy ..it passes on that beautiful Ghio ruffled form onto the kids in lots of different colors which is really cool and why I like it so much here are some of the favorite crosses that I have been watching closely some of these now have kids too
