Brooke...

I totally agree. Brooke please post yours. Would really love to see it.

The really nice thing is Peter had some of this cross to sell and he changed all of his tags to include the registered name. He is one of the nicest people I know.

Peter is a great guy! Sometimes I wish he wasn't so nice! Would help keep more money in MY wallet

You asked and I am happy to oblige. This is High Society 'Highjack' HCC/AOS awarded May '11.

I remade the cross with my awarded javanica and they are in replate right now. High Society is also a good producer because I crossed HS to tetraspis to try to remove even more of the javanica cuppiness from the blooms and it worked

Thank you so much!!

Love, love, love it!!

That pic is sooooo much nicer than the one in the IPA journal!!

I'm envious!!

HS x tetraspis sounds like a great cross too, have any pics of that to show??

[Brooke]

Yes I have a few but will post later. Lots of errands to run and I need to get started.

Thanks for the compliment.

Here are three of the seedlings. The tetraspis has removed all the cuppiness from the javanica parent.

I really need to get off my duff and register this cross.

Thanks for the compliment on preferring the High Society pic over the official AOS photo. My husband takes really nice pics

Brooke,

Their all so nice! Hard to chose a favorite.
I can see both the parents in each one of them in varying forms.

You done did good..........now go get it registered so I know what name to look for in my travels!! lol

Judi

And yes, I much prefer hubbys pic. Shows off the flowers sooooo much better!

[Brooke]

Thanks glad you like them. If I was 30 years old I would definitely be hybridizing all the time. I love the whole process and the anticipation of the outcome.

I like them all too but if you forced me to choose only one...it would be the third. Or, maybe the 2nd. Hmmmm...I'll take one of each please.
