S. asks what I might know of Lemon Chiffon--that can be summarized
pretty quickly! We visited Reaths in 1980 and saw the opened
maiden flower on the young seedling, it was yellow and double
then. I saw it again on the show table at the 2001 APS exhibition
in Hamilton, Ontario, a very fine flower of considerable size. In
flower anatomy I thought it a bomb class flower. You probably know
that it produced the champion flower at the 2000 APS show. Scott
writes glowingly of its fertility and quality of its progeny. I
would expect the fertility, inasmuch as it is attributed to a
Salmon Dream seed and pollen of a seedling from Cream Delight x
Moonrise, all quite fertile in my experience. Don |
