These oddities in blooms are so interesting. What's impressive is that skilled development by hybridizers over time turn "awkward"-looking oddities into great-looking features.
Judy, once again your words are encouraging to me—
I heard that Dave Mussar has been trying for a very long time to improve on stippling but without much success. Purchasing seeds would be a great way to conveniently jump-start, and enhance, my hybridization program. Perhaps I’ll benefit from beginners luck!
I’m a fan of your cultivars. If you are going to compost a seedling who’s only flaw is scapes that are way to short keep me in mind—I’d love to take it off your hands
You mention that it sometimes is easy to stabilize a new trait. If only one cultivar is displaying the trait it’s not immediately clear to me how to stabilize it. Could you give me some insights into how that is done?
