I've run out of space to plant any more hippies, but it's hard to resist pollinating interesting possibilities. I promised to limit it to three this year, but I already have 12. My main outstanding aim is to get a good quality double dark red, so I hope something will come of these attempts.

In addition, I have tried to cross-pollinate the best dark red individuals (mainly Carmen, Royal Velvet or Benfica) and I now have quite a lot of seed which has just dried out and is ready to go.

So if anyone would like a sample of these seeds, please drop me an email and I'll drop a packet in the post. My email is:
