Good idea. I'l look into it for next year.

Of course, this year, for my purposes, it is almost enough to say
"Oh Wow, COOL !! C O L O R S "

If I get smart, I will start saving more digital photos of colors I want to hark back to.

This year, I only have a few categories:
that one yellow plant with single petals
the orange ones
pinky-light-purply Lilliput EHH I don't care for the color but like the form and how they last in a vase
That one darker purple plant with single petals

This photo has a few marigolds, but does not show the darker-purple single-petaled plant.

The very first thing that disapeared in the F2 was exotic form and size from Giant Catus and fantasy varieties.

BTW - I found that "Liliput" actually is the form I've been looking for, if I go by seed packet photos. I think that is another strain I should add to my raw material.
