I guess I should share some of the registered patterns I have and will be using...no one has shown these yet so maybe someone can shed light on their experience with them if they have them. My biggest concern is Tri-color as I still haven't(2 seasons) had any seeds fromTri-Color..and I love it! ...in 2011I acquired Last Song and love the purity of it and think I should be able to get something nice from it....Marsailles Watercolor has been skimpy in bloom but still hangs in there every yr(3yr last summer)..nothing yet in seeds...I transplanted it in a better section last summer so didn't breed it. I bought Bit of Blue at the same time I bought Tri-Color and it has NEVER bloomed and is still very tiny! I also bought Static-same time- and no bloom yet...I am thinking they are just too tender in my zone 5A garden. Also I have Cosmic Odyssey and it just thrives even though last summer wasonly its 2nd yr here...didn't breed because of the drought..bred a small amount later in the season after it was spent. I have, and love Visual Intrigue but it doesn't like to give me seeds....5th yr and gave up trying a few yrs ago...I am thinking that many of them are only pollen fertile and I want to have them be pod fertile! So here is
LAST SONG
TRI-COLOR
COSMIC ODYSSEY
MARSAIILES WATERCOLOR
VISUAL INTRIGUE
so you can see I had plans for doing patterns but have been halted so to speak...I do have a few of my own that I would call simple patterns and i will try to upload those if you are interested.
any input would be much appreciated!
