Super-Mel seedlings are looking more and more to actually be Mel-Adams crosses. who knew?

Mel-Adams A was rosey colored and smelled fantastic.

The form is more rounded, more sturdy than Melanie. I like it. It's short... but it's in a pot-prison. I'll free her in the summer. Melanie is super tall. Mel-Adams cross A is, as of yet, not tall at all.

Mel-Adams cross B flowered as well! The standards are like a midway shade between the Melanie pink and the fawn color that fades to old gold on Frank Adams standards. It's odd. I like it.

Form for both is more like Frank Adams than Melanie. Standards are less flimsy.
