You can totally see the Playboy foliage in pics 4-08-07. Playboy has different foliage in seedlings, and the type there is usually the one you want. The bad one, which is common, is the foliage that looks like Europeana. It mildews just as bad, lol.

Thanks for the input Michael. I wish this plant were a stronger grower. The good news is that it's pollen fertile. I'll be using it with some vigorous seed parents this Spring.

Interesting that as you predicted, I've never found any Powder Mildew with this one so far.

I love the delicate coloration. I may repeat the cross. This seedling is the result of pollinating one blossom. I'll bet I could get some nice vigorous seedlings out of this cross if I had more seedlings to choose from.

Thanks Michael. Some unusual color combinations are coming out of Lila Banks. This hybrid lacks vigor but I believe the pollen is fertile.
