Sunrise in Glory X Whirlwind Romance

The goal: testing the transmission of form.  Sunrise in Glory has open standards, held erect by a strong midrib, which show of contrasting style arms, while Whirlwind Romance has near-globular form. 

On maiden bloom, the seedlings were screened solely on performance as this was not a line testing recessive traits. The one on the left was the top selection with SIG-type form, chosen for its bright yellow style arms framed by a pixilated yellow and pink cup. The one on the right was the top selection with WWR-type form, chosen for its eye-catching signal and onco-like broad beard.
