Unk R3#3 X (Summer Star x Heavenly Curls [R2#55])


 Unk R3#3 X (Summer Star x Heavenly Curls [R2#55])

This one took me by surprise because I didn't realize at first it is one of my crosses. The fuchsia Unk with a chartreuse throat was crossed with a spidery yellow one. By the end of the day, this should be a full cascade type.

Unfortunately, it took a real beating in the winds we had. I was thinking of crossing it with Magic of Oz x Ashee Dashee, a double with a strong green center, but the wind ripped them off. I'm trying after pollenating, cutting all but the pistil off and seeing if it still works.

I've tried several crosses with 'Heavenly Curls' but it must be more pollen fertile than pod?, no pods have formed at all, but I did try the pollen on 'Changing Latitudes' and looks like that's taken, though that shape and that eye, you never know :-)

If you look at the children of Heavenly Curls [on Tinkers], you will see that all but 2 have HC as pollen parent. Free Wheelin' is that way - you can get pods to set on it, but it is difficult.
