Here is one of John Reeds breeding goals accomplished. He hoped the color would be more vibrant in the photo. He considers this a red trumpet from pink breeding. Flaming Silk is Magician X Pink Silk. In Minnesota, the pink Silk seedlings are either not well colored or are division 2 flowers. John had a definite bright trumpet in Flaming Silk. The color shifted more toward the raspberry end of the spectrum with the addition of this seedling as a parent.
Hi everyone,
Here is John’s newest seedling 2004-110-1. It’s parents are: 97-28-1 (Raspberry Rose x Magician) x Flaming Silk. This is the first year it has bloomed. It is a 1W-R. He hopes you like it.
Mike…this is a wonderful flower! Very bright and cheery…a well thought out cross.
Thumbs up to another beautiful flower…thanks so much for sharing. :-)
