I want that graceful, airy look to the tall scapes, clean white trumpets (or "butterfly" open flowers), and perhaps black scapes to contrast with the white flowers. I've now got 2nd and third generation seedlings, including a cream with dark scapes, very clear white trumpets, and white trumpets on 50 inch scapes. Recent introductions from these lines include [[Ice Trumpets]], [[Paean For Jocelyn]], [[Yearn To Be Clouds]] and [[Clarity Of Purpose]]. | I want that graceful, airy look to the tall scapes, clean white trumpets (or "butterfly" open flowers), and perhaps black scapes to contrast with the white flowers.

Once again, I want graceful, airy scapes with branching and budcount galore. I've succeeded in getting some especially good sunfastness. Special features might include some rhyzomatiousness like fulva and extensive bud building. These lines are named with a "blood" theme. Recent introductions include [[Arterial Blood]], [[Venous Blood]], [[Fountain Of Blood]], [[Indelible Blood]] and [[O Positive]]. | Once again, I want graceful, airy scapes with branching and budcount galore.

So far, I have introduced [[Begin With A Bang]], a light red whith large flowers that blooms extra early and has sometimes rebloomed here. 2014 near-white extra earlies are [[Chill]] and [[Ain't Yeller]]. | So far, I have introduced [[Begin With A Bang]], a light red whith large flowers that blooms extra early and has sometimes rebloomed here. 2014 near-white extra earlies are [[Chill]] and [[Ain't Yeller]]. | ||

Imagine if dark scapes contrasted with other vivid colors than yellow: brilliant golds, creams, melons, whites, and pinks. The first introduction from these lines is [[From Darkness Comes Light]]. Good seedlings include [[MH0735M]], [[MH0735X]], [[MH0966X]] and [[MH0971X]]. | Imagine if dark scapes contrasted with other vivid colors than yellow: brilliant golds, creams, melons, whites, and pinks.

An experimental cross resulted in [[Vanilla Gorilla]], a huge cascade UFO. In the course of trying to produce hanging flowers, I got [[Helicopter]], which is a little melon spatulate UFO. Imagine [[Nutmeg Elf]] in melon instead of yellow. I'm working on mini spiders, tall and small very lates, green on white, purple bracts and a variety of other oddball side projects. | An experimental cross resulted in [[Vanilla Gorilla]], a huge cascade UFO.
