I'd love to know the crosses that made the double pinks. That would be a great help in starting. Where is the san marcos site?

it really doesn't say much at this page i looked at. i thought being in california and in the business they might have that right.

does the famous brug book have this kind of info????

Arlene,
You know the crosses of Whiskers and it's kin don't you?

Ollie- Betty Marshall x Charles Grimaldi-LBJ Hybrid
UConn Treasure-S. White x Versicolor Apricot-Rich Sanders Hybrid

I never had the oppotunity to grow this highly spoken of hybrid, but I have seen lots of images of it in different positions.

If my eyes not decieve me, GM has aurea x candida background in it and also insignis. In most pictures, that I have seen the aurea x insignis genes appears to strike through very clear.

This one and a few others, where there is a clear view to the corolla throat, it also appears, that candida has something to do with it. But as said, I never actually grew it.

Gloria, thanks. and whiskers was yellow aurea X ? can't remember right now.
also beccalynn and jessie noel, sisters are ?

i had a great aunt who was always late, like me, named ollie. my dad calls me smitty ollie sometimes (my family and friends have callled me smitty for 30 plus years)
thanks gloria, and please fill me in here on the above it you don't mind. i bet you have a good handle on the genes in those mixes...

tonny, is GM grand marnier?
