I am a little bit like Judy Davisson and use White Eyes Pink Dragon quite a bit. Those seedlings are generally really large, and I like that. I have a good many that are similar to some she has released.

I got Spacecoast Lemon Whiskers three years ago because I have a weakness for yellows. Started seeing seedlings from it last year that were awesome, but I have seedlings from a lot of different plants. For yellows, I have Butter Cream. Some years it is very skimpy with pods, but last year it rewarded me with a bunch of pods.

I do have Pink Extraordinaire and have used it for two years. I like it that those plants are big and vigorous! I have quite a few from Floyd Cove. This year I think I am going to experiment with fragrance. I had gotten Lean Green Fragrance Machine and wanting to cross it with Assigned For Size in the worst way.

I seem to change up my goals from one year to another because I can't seem to focus on any one thing, but the larger flowers seem to be the thing that drags me back to earth. Those seedlings from White Eyes Pink Dragon will often throw big watermarks, so I guess that is another area that I really like. This year I am trying a few smalls because Valerie always posts some photos of her amazing seedlings. This year, I also want to do some doubles, and also working with some diploids. Can't wait to start working with Ron Reimer's Chimera Delight!
