We Opened the Lily show today , with Judith Freeman in attendance. Can I say , I read into the 'aura' of all the replies that you all sent me & seriously can say, I am a much more fulfilled person than yesterday 
.. Judith is a really great person , really interested in Australian breeding, Really appreciated the 40 minute stroll of the blooms[not long enough] , .. Really appreciated our advancement in 'Darker' Henryi breeding- especially 'deep orange crosses' & my miniature Madame Butterfly X Madame Butterfly , Backcross seedling.. We talked of crosses with ' Grenadier '& its fertility, , & the dark orange 'Cameron X Henryi' which she strives to breed in the future.. .. Interesting 'FACT' Lankon grows identically!! 
Its differences are all to do with where & how it is grown.. [So Darth Vader Strain ] is a myth.. I have a lot to add, & please bear with me for pics ''' AS SOON as I can'''''''.. Judith said , ''this is a fine Show'' , I said , ''Well we try hard'' .. she said ''well you are trying very well'''.. & Tracey , High regards to you , from our discussion .. I told her , I was growing your seedlings & showed her 'Ortega X Fanfare'', when she told me of her appreciation of your efforts! .. From the 'RAMSHACKLE' that I walked into , this morning , To the head full of clouds , this afternoon, 
'I FEEL GOOD'
