what cross is this? Very pretty!
K

Wow!!! That's a real beauty!!

I am thrilled and I'm so glad you're pleased with it! I hope some of the other seeds I sent you do half as well.

I'm assuming it was either a Charisma cross or self or maybe a Temptation cross. Do you happen to have the cross? Either way I never kept any of them. Somewhere safely tucked away in a place that I'll probably never find I have a couple of papers with the names of people I've sent seeds to over the years and the crosses I've sent them. I always meant to put it in a word document but never got around to it.

Thank you so much for sharing your sucess with me and everyone else, I really appreciate the feedback!!!

Donna :-)

Elijah,

My curiosity got the better of me and I looked up our correspondence via email several years back and I listed several seeds that I was either waiting for the pods to ripen or that I already had. Temptation selfed was one I was going to send you, which I think this obviously is. It looks remarkably like it's parent.

Very nice! Well worth the wait.

A closer picture of that one would be nice...don't tell me all those healthy looking seedlings are from seeds I sent you....??

Donna

It looks just like it's mommy! Pretty!!!

Donna,

90% are. Most have had multiple offsets. They are actually getting a little out of hand!

Wow, that's quite pretty too! Now I wonder which cross that one was...?

Ok, I just checked the old emails again and the only crosses that I mentioned that this might be are Peach Parfait x Lady Jane or Minerva x Dancing Queen . Probably the Lady Jane cross..what do you think?

It's got nice veining, how come you're having such good luck?? You must be doing something really right with your growing methods...! Once again, I appreciate the feedback...

Donna

Thanks Donna! I've kept them in a self-watering container and fed them constantly with the space city fertilizer that I saw on one of the old GW threads. They really flourish with the feedings!

I'll post pics them as the new ones come up, but nothing looks ready for a bit now.

I'm guessing Minerva cross. Color and veining suggest this. I'd think the Parfait Jane would be peachy or coral and not have so many attributes of Minerva, although Minerva may be in the background of both of those since it's such an old hybrid. Just my guess...

Well, you could be correct, maybe Elijah could help us, I had each packet labeled but of course labels can get lost over time. Which is it Elijah? :-)

Donna,
I kept no records unfortunately. The names meant nothing to me at the time (having no prior experience), so I mixed them all up...

ELijah

Well maybe sometime when I'm looking for some frustration I'll try and locate those papers I mentioned earlier where I have listed which crosses I sent to whomever...
