Well, so far looks like my incredible Plum Frost [named in Japanese: Ume Shimo - which means Plum Frost] is not going to grow back TRUE. I haven't given up YET, however, I planted 40 seeds and have hopes that at least ONE will grow True.
If not for me, maybe it will grow TRUE for someone else out there that I shared seeds with. The CROSSES that I posted on this Thread are ALL 'Crosses' from my Plum Frost seeds. Can't tell about the one Dee just posted that is also Lavender with a Picotee. Hers looks a little darker than the one I posted above that I've called Pale Lavender Silk.
My guess is that many of these crossed with one of my Rose Silks.
Well, at least the Crosses are awesome!
As I said I'm still in hopes that 'somewhere' out there the 'Real Plum Frost' will grow True. Either that or ALL of those early mornings that I got up at daybreak to self-pollinate the blooms and then 'close them off' was a total waste.
LORD, 'Daturapod' WHERE ARE YOU WHEN WE NEED YOU!
Help us out here.

Here is photo of my Ume Shimo Plum Frost from last year that I am STILL hoping for.
