Today we saw some interesting seedlings from Rocks Cry Out. This Pinewood introduction is a unique flower but has been somewhat difficult to breed with. We are not trying to make narrow flowers but RCO tends to breed narrow. The other problem with RCO is getting clear colors. RCO has a tan edge so there is some brown in the original flower. We are working with RCO to make it wider and breed patterns.Â
Today we had two new seedlings with RCO in the background. Seedling 123-1 is (RCO x (Forestlake Ragamuffin x Web Browser)) x Heman. The teeth come from both parents and the plant is tall and well branched just like RCO. The color is richer than Heman and the edge more of a contrast.

The second seedling is 121-1. This is RCO crossed with a Red Friday Seedling. The form is much more round and the ruffles are immense. This is a different look from the RCO breeding and we will try to work with this on other red seedlings.Â
