>I have had many requests to supply seeds.  I have resisted until
>now.   However, I have re-made the cross 'Spindrift' x 'Desert Star'
>and have some seeds available.  This cross produced some outstanding
>seedlings,  including 'Miss Venezuela' and 'Pink Pearl'.   'Desert
>Star' is also the parent of 'Beauty of Taiwan' one of the most
>floriferous cultivars I know.

>I have just done a germination test, I planted 20 seeds on paper and
>as you can see 20 germinated.

>These seeds will produce flowers similar to 'Beauty of Taiwan' at
>the smallest possibly similar to 'Miss Venezuela' which is over 100
>mm in diameter.  Colour will mostly be similar to 'Miss Venezuel'
>but the occasional pale one should occur as in 'Pink Pearl'.

>If you are interested please contact me privately.

>P.S.  The germination plates show firstly the seeds with their seed
>coat after just 4 days.  At that time I carefully take off the testa
>(seed coat) as in  the second photo.  For your interest I am also
>attaching a photo of ('Daeng Siam' x 'Beayty Cloud II') x my very
>dark swazicum #6.  Only a few seeds were produced and I am now
>finding it better to germinate valuable seeds on paper, hand remove
>the testa at around 4 to 5 days and then transplant into boxes at 14
>to 15 days.  With this method just about every seed possible can be saved.
