Hi again, Thought I should let you know the crosses and how successful they were. All seeds were bought on the LA, some from the US and some from Canada. Seeds purchased from DWM (Dave Mussar from Ont.): These seeds were the best of the lot, very plump and just ready to grow. They had great germination and the seedlings are also the largest and healthiest. (These crosses are not spiders or Unusual forms which tend to have smaller fans so that may be the reason they are generally larger). As this is my first time growing dl's from seed I may have had some effect on the outcome, but I treated all the seeds the same and some crosses definitely outperformed others by a wide margin. He also gave a bonus of extra seeds of each cross (usually doubled) and also some bonus crosses. Big Bird's Friend X Garden Symphony 4/4 seeds germinated. Esperenza Gold X Yukon Spring 6/7 Early & Often X Sally's Child 5/8 Mason's Mark X Violet Angel 5/7 Fox Point X Deliberate Pace 6/9 Grandpa Oscie X Victoria Park 12/12 Rose Impact X Victoria Park 4/6 Ruffled Bouquet Deluxe X Grandpa Oscie 6/7 Tippercanoe X Victoria Park 8/10 Ruffled Bouquet Deluxe X Rose Electra 7/8 Fusion X Victoria Park 6/7 Fox Point X Grandpa Oscie 6/10 Mason's Mark X Get 'R Done 4/9 Seeds purchased on the LA from Lighthousegal (Cynthia Tyrell)from Michigan: Generally good germination but smaller seedlings because most of these are spiders or UF's. Generally with the seeds purchased here, I planted all of each cross because there was only 5 or 6 seeds of each, so I do have several other crosses from Cynthia to try out this winter and put out next spring. Magic of Oz X Unidentified Flying Object 4/5 Wholebuchalotta X Lavender Handlebars 7/7 Kate Carpenter Sdlg X Larger Than Life 4/6 Trahlyta X Rebekah's Gothic Spider 3/5 Neuva Nova X Lavender Handlebars 4/5 (Daring Dilemma x Techny Spider) X Primal Scream 2/6 Taunting Tapestry X Wilson Spider 3/6 Orange Exotica X Lola Branham 2/3 Flutterbye X Rosy Lights 2/5 Firestorm X Wilson spider 3/6 Trahlyta X Firestorm 4/6 Wilson Spider Sdlg X Gudrid 4/6 Brigade of Butterflies X Wilson Spider Sdlg 4/5 Mapping Carolina X Wilson Spider Sdlg 3/3 Renaissance Maiden X Firestorm 6/7 Sarah's True Colors X Primal Scream 2/7 Seeds purchased from Kivariver (Nina Lapierre)MA, US. Very generous with her seeds and also gave me alot of Japanese Iris seeds to try out. Most of her crosses did well with the exception of one or two which did not. I think that cross just wasn't meant to be. Three Seasons X Greywoods Great Dana 7/10 Ben Lee X Jerry's Whirligig 10/12 Sweet Apricot X (Memories of Oz x Ya Ya Girl) 5/5 Crystal X Unknown 4/6 Siloam Tiny Tim X Chin Whiskers 5/11 Siloam Tiny Tim X Peppermint Ice 3/14 The last two crosses with Siloam Tiny Tim weren't great, but she gave so many bonuses that it more than made up for these. She is a very generous person and I wouldn't hesitate to order from her again this fall... Seeds purchased from Thankyou (Ellen Laprise) for the most part had a very high germination rate and she usually gave extra seeds of every purchase as a bonus as well as the Spirit of Sapello X Cowboy Scarf (8seeds). I only grew half the seeds this spring. Spirit of Sapello X Cowboy Scarf 4/4 Aquamarine X Emerald Starburst 3/3 Momentum X Webster's Pink wonder 3/4 Rocky Horror X Triune Presence 1/4 Talon X Triune Presence 3/3 Seeds purchased from Liebchengwp (Carol Anderson)in US. Almost all of the crosses did very well with the exception of one and most were spidery in nature. They are for a large part seedling crosses of hers that are incredible and I do have the pics of them if you are interested. You have probably seen them on the LA as that's where I bought the seeds. HW-73 (Harbour Blue X White UFO sdlg) X SQSGB-12(Starman's Quest x Snake In The Grass Boo) 3/4 SQSGB-10 X HW-71 (see above) 1/5 MJ-04-106 (Mad Max x Judge Roy Bean) X SQSGB-12 4/5 SQSGB X White Stripe 6/7 - very healthy Dainty Pink X FSGB-15(Firestorm x Snake Grass Boo) 5/7 MJ-106 X FSGB-15 4/7 Seeds purchased from Lilydude in the US. Not the greatest germination but the few that did germinate were very healthy. I do love Heavenly Angel Ice. Big Smile X Heavenly Angel Ice Indian Giver X Heavenly Angel Ice Heavenly Angel Ice X Stargate Portal One last person I purchased seeds from on the LA was Red (Rich Surmont). They had good germination and were all spider and UF varieties. Marked By Lydia X Skinwalker 2/4 Misc. spider and Unusual forms 20/24 Well, that is it...lol Hopefully will get some nice flowers out of these in the future... Rob

Those RFK seedlings are real beauties. I love seeing your garden. The perennial bed is so pretty and well kept. I really like the way you planted the bed with the daylilies and lilies. That tall red lily is an eye-catcher. What is the yellow double to the right of the red lily. I usually dislike doubles, but that one appeals to me. Magic of Oz looks relly good, and I really like Souls on Fire. I remember that I really liked Ribit Ribit last year. Such a pretty bloom. That's a gorgeous shot of Clown Parade, and Worth it All looks great. My pick of the whole thing is the second of your RFK seedlings. I really like that color. kay
