And this one is a cross from this Spring. It is Full Moon (Yukon) which is a pale yellow bloom crossed with Blue Speckles. This is the 3rd bloom on this new vine. None of the blooms are opening completely. So ... not sure what the deal is with that!

The bad thing is that the yellow bloom color is a recessive gene in this cross. The blooms are white (not yellow) with the blue speckles. The seeds came from Full Moon. It was a partially sterile vine. No pollen production and so I had to cross it with pollen from another MG. I was warned that the Yellow Moon tended to be sterile. It's true, unfortunately. It will be interesting to see what the F2 will produce from the seeds of this vine. Will the yellow show up, will the speckles return, or will it produce something else entirely. THAT is the question!
