'Secret Recipe' is awesome and looks like a little darker version of 'Spirit World' which I once grew and somehow lost. However, now all this has me fantasizing about a black luminata. Woo hoo!

Midnite Oil is not a great grower for me but I have tried 'Epicenter' with it to no avail. But you never quit. Once I crossed 'Annabelle Babson' (pink) with 'Rancho Rose' (rose plicata) and out of about 20 sdlgs. only one had a plic pattern. You just never know. That's what makes it so interesting and captivating.

And thanks for the suggestion Greg on 'Old Renegade'. Guess it wouldn't hurt to try it although I think I recall the the seedling also has 'Starlit Velvet' in it just like 'Old Renegade' does.
