Title: Lara's Theme

I saw some pics of this one on the IHS site, this one looks really nice too.  Anyone have experience with it?

One big stock plant survives at HVH. Last years cuttings of it failed 100 percent. Another on the "graft when there is time" list. A greenhouse winter bloom photo is attached. This cv has excellent color at its best but less intensity than this in summer sun.

Charlie do you still offer this cv?

I would like more info about it.  I was on IHS and it says parents where not registered  ( rosalind x unknown  X renaissance blue x UK ) but on your website it states a double date x kylie michelle cross

I have 1 Lara's Theme plant that I know of. It's a pretty nice flower, and a decent bush. As usual, when we don't have one like that it's because of the difficulty of propagation. I hope we can offer it again, but won't know until it happens. As for the parents, I no longer recall and will have to track down the info.

@ Kerry, According to IHS the parents are:

Fifth Dimension x Christie Blue

Hopefully she makes it to the grafting table one day!
