OK. I think that's a good move, Jim. I think this offspring will show a little more red in it. I think by making it a little more complex, it will provide for much more colors potential in future crossing. I suppose you will then introduce a Trumpet form parent to get a sunburst form. What I've been doing is once I have a good henryi cross based largely on the colors that I see in the heart and throat, I'll go directly to a selected Trumpet, again based on color and make the cross. For instance, I would have pollenated pictures 3 and 4 at this point with a dark purple Trumpet in hopes of getting more red with uniform release. So, your post turned out to be pretty valuable to me. Thanks!. This summer I'll do a few early henryi and rosthorni crosses with one additional crossing before proceeding.
