I'd be happy to hybridise with Harvey, were it to exist here in Aus.

Now... I didn't mean to cause you all that data-checking, but it's impressive how well you keep records. A great failing of mine. Hilarious! (Though this year I did make a handful of seedbox maps, which I discovered I'll need this morning as my permanent marker, wasn't.) I wondered if maybe a stray pollen grain or two snuck through behind your back and 'contaminated' the cross.

....I've become less concerned, myself, about keeping crosses for myself completely clean, though I still protect them. Watching ants work around for nectar in flowers and wander up and down styles, it occurs to me that any number of little feet could find a crack in the foil. I've grown to like the possibility of a 'nature's surprise' factor. nodding
