I think the sib cross and a selfing cross make good sense.

Indeed Terry, I’ll try and find out which plants are fertile over the next couple of years by making quite a few crosses between anything decent. Selfing the very best is also on the cards when the plants are a year or two older.
Clone 13.
A reasonable clone with a decent flower and extra marks as there are two side branches with buds already on an immature plant.

Clone 9.
A better flower than the previous one as well as bigger, this one is 12.5 cm across. Only problem is that it’s a climber. I probably won’t keep either of these.

The color seems more saturated in 13 (compared to 9).
Learning the range of the cross is making it quicker and easier to decide what to keep. Nice work.
Clone 11 is getting better. Third bloom and still 13cm across and pan flat, plus a branch blooming. This bloom has a better shape without the tall dorsal or stripy petals. It’s a pity that it’s a climber. I may have to try to accommodate this in future.

WOW ... that's great ! but I like also clone 12 due to its shape and colour.

Indeed guru. Clones 10 and 12 are definitely keepers and this one is coming close to join them.
