Paul Thanks I am hoping winter is kind this year and I will have lot's of pictures of my own to share. What Lived from the 2012 crosses is doing really well but because of the rot issues in them they all had to be dug and moved so hopefully get to see some bloom. From those crosses in 2012 looking forward to Terracota Bay x Class Ring also Terracotta Bay x Patchwork Puzzle. I am curious about Patchwork Puzzle really interesting pattern on that one wondering if it transfers to it's kids.

In 2013 I wanted to experiment with some of my favorites by combining them some have beautiful colors but lack branching and buds thought I would start by trying to improve some of them. Magical is a favorite of mine and everything about it is wonderful it grows really well here and the seedlings that Joe had from it were incredible so started working with it a lot. Hoping for a blend of colors with the Magical form, I have seedlings from it with Italian Master, My Beloved, Jealous Guy, Just Witchery, Candy Colours, Wicked Good, Electric Candy, Tuscan Summer.

I am also working on Oranges with ruffles not quite sure what to expect here I am sure will be a long process but a few I am excited about to see in the spring are.
Enjoyment x All My Dreams
Amber essence x My Beloved
All My Dreams x Fixation

One of my favorite plants from 2013 at home was Just Witchery the Ruffles Lovey dubby unfortunately I lost it this spring and could not find it for sale anywhere. I got it to set 3 pods when it bloomed with My Beloved, Magical, Head Over Heels, and got pollen to take from it on Ride The Waves. I have a hundred or so seedlings from it and hoping something in there is a winner Smiling
