You may think I'm bragging

I am! About 10 years ago I started hybridizing Rudbeckia's with these.

    otnorot, they are stunning. So what if T & M have already done it, that's their role, you've done it with patience and skill, be very proud of yourself and happy knowing you haven't mail ordered yours.

  • Those are gorgeous- keep going, Bill. You may beat them yet! The next advance is always just around the corner.

  • Beautiful Bill, well done you.  I'm trying to encourage my grandchildren to get in the garden, slowly slowly catchee monkey!

  • well done, and you didnt have their budget, we a s a nation have always been at the forefront of invention...go for it..more to follow?
  • I doubt very much that Thompson and Morgan will have the same plants as you, they may have done the same crosses, but will not have exactly the same offspring,

    Go ahead and get them bulked up, named, and market them, they are all beautiful cultivars of very gardenworthy plants, perfect for English summer gardens.
