Call the doctor - this one was done today with my 30-bud count Amethyst Reflections sdlg. I also have 2 with Core Values. That is using it as pod parent. For pollen parent, I have used it with a Wild Horses x Heavy Metal and with one of my new applique throats - Amber Rhum x Kazoo. Also with the double Signature Truffle x Abilene Lillian; and trying to get orange & purple, with Better Lucky Than Good x Hippie Crash Pad.
I am really excited by this one :)

Lol, I knew you'd have used it with that one!!!!!;-),all the other crosses sound great as well.
I was a bit pee'd off yesterday I crossed 'Madge Cayse' with 'All American Windmill' a few days ago and usually I'm really careful when deadheading not to do the ones with white labels but I deadheaded it!!!!! and it was forming a pod!!!! luckily the pods still there hope it continues to develope, a few more flowers on each today so going to do a couple more, that could be a double spider couldn't it!!!

Thanks, Hywel
Simbad: I did it again today using a different Amethyst Reflections sdlg. Hopefully the pod continues to grow. It could be spider-like, or an open double. I'll post a photo of my Amethyst Reflections sdlg that is an open double type.

That would be good Wylie :-), I used 'Madge Cayse' as the pod parent not having much luck with 'All American Windmill' producing pods suppose that means its better as a pollen parent :-)

Thanks - Wild Horses is more red, while this is a rich purple with an edge. Stunning when seen "live".
