Troika is a seedling of 1997 with its first flower in 1998.
It came up in 2000 with a serious fault: a to narrow calyx
prevents a normal development of the fillings. I use Troika now for breeding purposes only. Being out of the Charleston x Rothkirch cross, she should do very good with EP or L'Amour.
What are fillings? It looks pretty good to me!
Pretty flower..looks like a good choice for a back crossing..
Monika,have you ever tried to breed a variegated double?
This is almost impossible. Variegated seedlings die shortly after germination. Their leaves have no chlorophyll.
Monika I have had the same problem with variegated datura seeds..they all grow totally white and die shortly after germination.
Another breath taking flower
Monika,Why L'amour and not Rothkirch.Just wondering as I love both of these hybrids and would have a hard time not using both myself in this instance.
