Good going there, gloriag! If you haven't already, mark your crosses with the seed parent first and then the pollen parent next. Example: 'Cherry Pie' X 'Daniel'
I hope at least one of your crosses will be successful. So wonderful you will have your very own hybrids!

I mentioned before that streps set seed readily themselves with no help from us at all. Here is 'Blue Mars' and the resulting seed pod forming. I will mark this 'Blue Mars X self
This strep is a large hearty grower with large blossoms.
