So nice to see so many different "retics" - the promise of things to come for us as we're only just planting ours!
A few years ago through Marcus Harvey I managed to import a few of Alan McMurtrie's "SxD" hybrids from Janis. They had to wait awhile in quarantine and then re-aclimatising to the reversed seasons but I'm very hopeful for flowers this year!
A few of us in our Garden Club imported a whole batch of seed from Alan about 6 or 8 years ago but in those days he never sold seed from his "SxD" crosses so the greens and whites were never going to emerge from our seed pots! That's why I'm so keen to get the named varieties to bloom in the hope of getting those genes into our very limited retic gene pool here in Oz.
cheers

Fred

Wish I had your skills in growing the perfect plant - and then to be able to present it so beautifully. 

Thought the black background was outstanding until you showed the white - now I can't decide.
