Hi Karen,

I agree that open pollinated flowers..especially the low fertility large flowered varieties, will produce suspect seed.

I have a similar situation with trying to obtain speckled flowered plants. Here are the flowers I'm getting from my Shikanoko seed.... Like you, a pink blizzard type and a solid colored white margin flower. I too am hoping that they infact came from a speckled plant and will do a grow out next year from these plants in hopes of retreiving the specks.

I did have another speckled plant bllooming yesterday when I got home in the afternoon...a purple speckled reverse tube plant. the first flower had no specks, and this one has a few very fine specks.....(thanks Joseph for the seed!..I have two of your babies growing along side the Q0751 which also bloomed yesterday, but with no specks yet...just the creamish yellow flower - a good sign!)
