Thanks Margaret and Dot! Also Dot, I was interested to see that your avatar seedling was out of SO MANY STARS. It's lovely! I've gotten some pretty seedlings putting SMS pollen on PIANO MAN. They're not particularly unique, but they do well for me and the top one is pod fertile, so I may continue to work with them. I planted a few seedlings from a sibling cross last summer so will see what shows up. That's the fun of hybridizing! I think I may try SO MANY STARS in some more crosses next summer as well. I've been hesitant to show any seedlings with all the gorgeous ones that Lyle and Fred (Spunky) and a few others have shown. But maybe if I do, others will be encouraged to post theirs as well...... Most of my selected seedlings so far are diploid UFs. So, I'm especially interested in what others may be doing in that area.
