Gonzer, I think you are further advanced than me at raising Bils from seeds. There is definately some motivating posts from Lisa, Winterlager, Avane yourself and others that make me want to have a go. Lisa, I don't know if my pollination took place, some of the stigmas had the little drop that you where talking about others looked like they might work, I tried over 5 nights using Hallelujah pollen on a what I think was a Strawberry Cream and vice versa. I have a couple of plants covered in cable ties and will hope for a miracle. I will try and pollinate around 9-10am next time. I have frozen some of the Hallelujah pollen and hope to use that on a Bil. FredRed that has a flower starting to emerge. I couldn't find any crosses with Bil. FredRed on FSBS so it either won't work or I am a trailblazer. Rick

Let's take a long SIGH and exhale. It feels great! Great Holidays, Bill. I have all of my babies in soil and I'm off to Florida. Jerry, I couldn't pull your list up...as my email account is still being straightened out. I'll still save a P&C for you for spring, What do you have in doubles? Post here, please. Thanks! Margaret

You are killing me here. I am trying to downsize but you all keep teasing me with all these fab blooms. I like a lot of Bill's seedlings. M1126B, M1185A, M249A, M991BDR and I don't like the eye on the next one much but I think it will be the best of the lot...M376A, so there!!!! Stop showing me this stuff, please!!...Ellie

The first Prickled Petals X Ed Brown bloom was lavender, although the first picture was not very accurate in colour rendition. The second picture is very accurate as to the colour of today's bloom. We will have to see a few more blooms to see which colour will win out.
