ta, I tip my hat to you. Very helpful, Bev. I am going to make an index card cheat sheet that says:

colored rosette color is dominant to green and
tipped cultivars are dominant to non-tipped.
Cobwebbing is semi-dominant to no cobweb so that the hybrids have tufts of cobweb to full cobweb.
Size of the rosette is controlled by many genes and the progeny tend to segregate widely for these characteristics.
Evalutate:
The rosette, shape, size, leaves,color, texture, beauty, health
The clump, density, stolon length, increase rate
The flower,Color, size, frequency of bloom
Distinction, why is it different

Hybridizing is a rare combination of art and science, where your tweezers are your artist’s brush!

Guess we will be creating ... hopefully not chaos. Hilarious! Or at least suggesting creative things for Kevin's master works.
