More seed...

I have ordered more seed from Ellen Laprise, Partridge Hill Gardens, again this year. Anyone who can create seedlings which come in first and second place in AHS judging has got to be doing something right! Again, the credit goes to Ellen for making these crosses!

Photos appear thanks to the kindness of Ellen (JESSAMYN GRACE), and Julie Covington (MARGO REED INDEED), and Linda Michaels (MOON LADDER) who gave me permission to use their photos.

Without Shadows x Margo Reed Indeed

MARGO REED INDEED (Murphy, 2004) 28" MLaRe 7.5" DIP Sev Unf (AFTER AWHILE CROCODILE X LOCH NESS MONSTER)

Near white. Overall shape may need some work, but MRI should help make WS a more 'modern' form by increasing the ruffling along the edges of the petals. Hopefully, it will remain a nice open 'airy' flower.

Fingers Of Time x Margo Reed Indeed

FINGERS OF TIME (Roberts, 2003) 36" M 10" DIP Sev
X
MARGO REED INDEED (Murphy, 2004) 28" MLaRe 7.5" DIP Sev Unf (AFTER AWHILE CROCODILE X LOCH NESS MONSTER)

Delicate coloured thin petalled flowers. Maybe a mild cascade or open form. Should work well in future crosses with my Asterisk and Prague Spring seedlings.

Almost definitely another cascade, with stronger, clear colour. Maybe with white edge?

Wonderful delicate cascades or very open forms.

Should give nice forms, probably in pastel colours (pink/lavender).
