Beautiful flowers John. I like the Mother Rose especially. I wouldn't mind having a flask of that cross (Mother Dot?) eventually, or even a division of MR.

UPDATE:

Well, a month after I made the 5 crosses, I can see that 3 of them did not take; but, 2 of them did. The 3 that did not take were x besseae, x schlimii and x Mother Rose. The x Red Sky and x Jason Fischer seem to be fattening up their capsules nicely. Too bad about those 3; but, I'm happy to get anything. I'll look forward to blooming these 2 crosses; but first, I need to get these 2 capsules to mature properly and give me some viable seeds. Fingers still crossed!
