I spent some time, because of this thread, looking back at several years
of seedling crosses and results. On older plants, for example, I could cross a red with a
yellow and get a clear orange, especially if the red had some yellow tones in it. That
was almost like mixing paint colors.
Darla Anita gave me some muddy colors for the most part, but crossing its
seedlings with a yellow would clean it up.
Now, with newer flowers, I get surprises. The newer ones are not as predictable,
for me that is. If the seedlings ever get around to blooming this year, maybe I'll have
a different point of view. Need to see some results from outside-the-box crosses.
