This plant is borderline for me. I rarely see it bloom

I have all the unused pollen stored in the freezer.

That's a beauty!

I think it is quite pretty and what an awesome plant to have if you are hybridizing!

That one is a beauty. Love those yellow crimped edges.

If you Hybridize use this one. I see very few blooms from this, but some of my most beautiful seedlings came from this one.

I'm not a big fan of those ruched edges like that. I know a lot of people refer to it as "chicken fat" edges --- I prefer the ruched name. This one I may make an exception for. Love the coloring.

Jamie,

Then get Ed Brown if you can. you should see some of the seedlings it throws, and thats from very limited crosses for me.
