Wow, hard to imagine all of the different colors coming from the Smoke and Thunder X Class Ring cross. All of them are really nice. The last one is really unique for sure, but also number 3 and 7 are different then any I've seen. Were there any plicata's among them?
I tried to make several crosses with Chestnuts Roasting last year, and none of them took.
I wonder if the second year will make any difference in things like bud count and branching and ruffles. I only had a hand full of my seedling bloom last summer, and that was the first year for me, so it will be interesting to see what happens next year. Maybe some of you who have been doing this longer can weigh in on this.
