Breeder's notes:
Curious to see the scope of results Ralph Moore had when making this cross, I remade it in 2022 and am evaluating the seedlings. I had hoped to get a percentage of larger plants, but out of 150 seedlings, only about 6 or 7 were anything but miniature!
This is a vigorous seedling that flowers constantly, so I am keeping it to study.
