Karen & Phila, I planted 11 F1's to ensure I got one that crossed. I'd love to thin them down.

They're producing surprisingly well. (I'm vibrating the blossoms.) There will be at least two of us making selections, so double the F2 seed.

Ginger, I like that idea!

Carolyn, I wholeheartedly agree! Originally, I had a recessive leaf female parent- the rugose Hardin's Mini was to be the momma. About 40 failed crosses later, I used the RL heart as the female in desperation (it was late August).
