I agree with you Leslie! It's beautiful!

You know, I have gotten some really unexpected blooms from crosses. My seedling crosses of Dragonfly Dawn x Dragonfly Dawn (seeds from Rich on the LA) produced 4 interesting blooming seedlings. My favorite one is the "pink" one, which was NOT a color I was expecting at all. So you just never know what genetics will show up in a seedling. I wished I knew what some of the other seedlings looked like in the genetic line of Cindy's "ED BROWN X FORESTLAKE RAGAMUFFIN" seedling. One of those unknown or no photo genes could be what helped create Cindy's beauty.

Here is a pedigree chart of my 4 DD x DD seedling blooms (I've posted this particular chart before):

Look how different, yet similar they all are!! So interesting to see what some crosses can produce in the flowers.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
