Here is a Pink Porcelain Blizzard bloom today. The seed did not come from PP though, it came from either a cross with with Mauve Splash or Sazanami. I say that because I planted only Mauve Splash seeds and Sazanami seeds in these containers. When I saw the typical Pink Porcelain bloom, I figured somehow a volunteer found it's way into the container. But now I realize that it is a cross. Comparing the blooms, it looks like a cross with Mauve Splash. The Pink Porcelain blooms had lots of pollen that I used to try to cross with both Mauve Splash and Sazanami. But Sazanami blooms were often completely sterile. No viable anthers or stigmas in them.


Neat how the blooms turn out from a cross, isn't it???? :-)
