This is an SDB cross resulting from lost parentage. Of approximately 100 seedlings there are no ID's because of misplaced garden stakes, or due to "permanent" marker ink wearing off the carpenter shims I use to ID. I know basically what they were, but trying to think back two years ago leaves me with a lot of doubts. I know in 2006 I used a lot of crosses involving Chubby Cheeks, Kiss Me Quick, Hustle, Gentle Grace and a few others. I especially like using Chubby Cheeks X Kiss Me Quick, or CC X Chanted or Cocoa Pink.
Anyway, with that said here is one of those seedlings without a pedigree. I strongly suspect it is from Chubby Cheeks X Chanted, but that will never be known for sure! I have 'named' it Random 08-1 for my own peace of mind and the hope of keeping track of it in the future. It looks very promising, but only time will tell.
There are nine (9) seedlings in this questionable category that I have decided to hold for another year for further evaluation. Each of these will be given a "Random" prefix to identify them in the future. I know (or think) I still (might) have my hybridizing notes somewhere in my stack of scribbled notes. If I dig deep enough maybe I will come up with the correct parentage. (Edited June 12, 2008)

Based upon my calculations I believe the parentage is Chubby Cheeks X Chanted.
