HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

I am fascinated with this rose, Warren. It is so interesting to look at the photos, and then to read the file on it. Is there any change of colour in the bloom?

Patricia I have just realized you had made a comment here. The bloom colour red remains the same intensity but the white eye becomes larger as the bloom ages. This little rose is a bloom machine.

Thank you. If it is a bloom machine, it is not just a red trifle then

Its very pretty and very interesting to look at.

Do you have any theories as to why the ploidy difference relates to how different it looks from your usual china? If you note, Tamango, a 2nd gen. from Mutabilis, is tetraploid, and tends to also create red blends down the line, with darker edging. Even Preference deepens the edges to a darker red when it ages in the sun.

The thing about Mutabilis is, nobody has a clue of its origin or parent linage. Electric poetry's plant and leaf structure are very china looking. The latest photographs show a plant which has not been pruned for 2yrs.

I feel in my attempt to double the chromosomes ( which may have happened) a recessive gene, may have been doubled creating this cultivar. My expertise in genetics is fairly modest and can only assume what may have happened.

Its possible. I think its likely very involved. Have you ever attempted to double a double?

Michael I was reading literature about this compound, and its use in chromosome doubling. They discussed it was only effective in diploid and triploid.
