Notes:

Ralph Moore has recently said that the parentage of Dancing Doll is likely a self-cross of 'Etoile Luisante'. The same would be said for the other sister seedlings of that year, Renae and Carolyn Dean.

The Plant Patent for Renae states that its seed parent is 'Etoile Luisante' and pollen parent is 'Sierra Snowstorm' therefore the parentage of Dancing Doll must be the same.
