Wood Wonders etc

[JC94030]

Here are some nice WW's from OZ. Both are reasonably flat, the second especially so. Side view shots provided.

I just love these WWs.

The first is 6 inches NS.

This second one is slightly smaller but flat, I think.

I put pollen from one to the other, and then put pollen from WW30 [below] on the the first.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous color and I looooove

the spots. What are you trying to achieve with the
cross pollination?

I don't know many maudie crosses, but do know that Wood Wonder is a great one. Those are beautiful.

Pretty flowers. The petals are really wide.

Thanks for the comments. OZ deserves any credit on these plants. Wood Wonder has really been an exceptional cross.
In response to the query about intercrossing these, each flower has its charm and flaws. For example the third one has crazy wide petals and color but the bloom is more cupped than I would like. #2 is very flat.
There are so many possible variants of spots, color, shape, that blooming out such a cross should be fun.
Interestingly, the foliage on some of these is huge, so I am wondering what the chromosome counts might be -- 100% speculation on my part. That, of course, might cause problems on intercrossing.
