Thanks Donna and all. I am pretty excited with it; when there is so much to hope for! It seems variegates are my main aim lately, between Axel and playing with grafting, just in case it really is a virus that causes variegation. Axel is a sport, so it's flowers aren't likely to change from that of it's momma, Peaches, nor has it thru spring summer fall; but the kids might do anything!!!
Bonnie Jean in summer heat was the same color as that sort of stretchy plastic tape stuff from wall-mart, sort of an orangy red, similar to vixen, who I am dieing to cross her to. I'll put a pic of her from late Nov, with Rothkirch (grandpa) between two blooms to show some difference/similarities. It was only her fifth flush when I registered her; early, so that I could present her on Bonnie's birthday to the children of her namesake ( my sister) Bonnie Jean, who had passed away last Easter eve. So she is not released yet, as I realize things could change.
Axel is, and should be making the scene soon; I've given out and promised all the cuttings I can, without chopping off seedpods!!! I want so much to see some new variegates, and the more plants I can personally hand out to breeders, the better the chance they might share a wonderful new child with me!! Lol!!
I don't usually post here, but just lurk; (I am weirdly loyal to people and places that make me happy) however I have friends here, breeders of wonderful things themselves, who I want share special news with.....a variegate that takes pollen readily, and throws living green seedlings is very special!!
