Day Dreams is my personal favorite Double Pink. She is easy going as long as protected from strong winds and likes a bit of shade in the afternoon. This is only a winter bloom, so it doesn't show her full potential like she showed me last fall. Sadly, I lost many pictures in a computer crash, but this winter bloom was still on the camera memory.

I recently did a little air layering on a small piece of Day Dreams. Didn't really think it would work on such a small branch, but it resulted in roots on a small piece. The resulted rooted cutting is only four inches tall from the soil surface. This cutting was from above the Y so it'll probably bloom for you this year.

I will send this out in it's pot to the first person who doesn't currently have a double pink, who posts the name of the person that hybridized it, and who the seedling parent in America was. Must have proper spelling to qualify!!!
