Thnks Tom for the nice comments. That was my best blue cross I ever made. Had several really blue siblings from that one. ((Altruist x Breakers) X Caribbean Dream) I will attach a couple more here of the sibs. Of course these were shot in the evening light as you can see and that intensifies the blue as you know, but still they were awesome blues. I think I only have one left here in the front yard that I saved. I pretty much lost my whole program for a few years after a painful marriage breakup. Gave a lot of things to friends and neighbors. Sold some to the locals and lost many in neglected weed patches. I still have the pics though and since I found ATP, I have been sorting through them. I still have several sdlgs. and about 175 named varieties now, so things are moving again. Nice to cheer everyone up on a cold winters day with a little color. I am just an amateur at this but I have introduced a few with Rockytop Garden. Phil Williams runs that and he visits occasionally to help me select. It is just a hobby that I love and it keeps me active as I get older. I am a stickler for wide falls and good pictures and I have a better eye than I used to.
