Thank you Peter for posting a photo of 60/98A. This seedling has an interesting history. Some years ago Reg Cull stayed with us and while looking through our seedling beds he picked out a yellow red variety and insisted we enter it in the local show. This flower subsequently was awarded Champion Bloom so we decided a suitable name for it would be Culfind.
The South Island Champion Bloom, 60/98A, was bred from Pacific Fire x Culfind. Pacific Fire’s breeding is Solar Flare x Kasia. Culfind is bred from Excalibur x Kasia. It is interesting to note that one of the best 2Y-R’s of Jackson’s breeding that I ever had, Kasia, is the pollen parent in both of the grandparents of 60/98A.
Regards,
John
