I have stalks of seed from 'Borscht' X its darker sibling and crosses of two of the 'Forever Midnight' siblings that are 10" across with each other that should be really quite cool.
My most interesting seedlings from the heuffs have been from 'Torrid Zone' and 'Hot Lips'. Bill Nixon thought they were from 'Henri Correvon' X 'Guiseppi Spiny' and the seedlings certainly show that. I get all sizes between quite tiny ones that lie flat to the ground with spiny tips to the leaves to huge ones with very wide and gently tapered tips and ALL combos of these characteristics plus every shade of red, green and purple with all variations in the amount of color from just a touch to solid reds and purples. These genes are REALLY segregating! Think the clinic people will have a fun time sorting through my selections on these. I did another round of selfing of these two cultivars plus self pollinated the seedlings from them that had bloomed too.
