20-011 (Dance With Somebody X Dawns Morning Light) Very pretty as a picture, but more striking in person in the garden. The parents have very good plant habit and it looks like that is carrying on with this plant.
20-010 (14-030 X Lillian’s Vapor Trail) Not what I was expecting when I crossed a RFK pink seedling to a big white UF, but I will take it. You never quite know what you will get until you make that cross.

19-015: (Fried Green Tomatoes X Rose F Kennedy) I like a lot of our friend Tim Herrington’s green throat flowers, especially FGT. I was especially happy to see this one and some others this year with lots of potential.
.
19-042: (Green Rainbow X Rose F Kennedy) Another of Tim’s green throat beauties crossed to RFK. The green throats in Tim’s flowers didn’t come from RFK so I was interested in crossing RFK into them to see the results. Not surprisingly, some like this one, are beautiful. . .
23-073 (Charles Lucius X Monocacy Summer Mist)
22-016 (Breathing In Lilacs X Lillian’s Vapor Trail) Once again, LVT offspring has color with no hint of its white background.
19-096: (14-030 X Lillian’s Vapor Trail) I think this one may be my favorite for 2019. I didn’t get pictures of many we selected this year, so maybe this will change with time. I hope to be that fortunate. This flower is about 7.5″ so it makes quite a statement in the garden. I will be crossing with this one next year to see what will happen. It has an eye so hopefully we can get patterns.
22-017 Cabana Anna X Alien Star Child) Another cross where the outcome was not what I had expected, but I think I like it more than if it had been what I expected.
22-019 (To The Ritz In A Rickshaw X Monacacy Summer Mist) I really like the base color and the contrasting red veining. It gives it a different look from most.
22-021 (Beefcake X Lillian’s Sabrina Manning) It had a little more patterning early in the season. I do like those in the orange family.
22-024 (Mardi Gras Indian X Marlie Jane) With this cross, obviously I was looking for orange. I got my wish. “Just Orange”, but I really like it.
22-025 (Mardi Gras Indian X Marlie Jane) A much darker version of this cross. A striking look when blooming among the colors in the lighter spectrum.
