The Dancer, Peach Fantasy, Vanilla Split, Vanilla Splice, Sugartime and Little Nicky.


After planting my first eBay auction seeds I decided to venture into the bidding wars again....
This time it was the US crosses that tempted me...
There were some wonderful sounding crosses using a lot of the 'Angels' cvs and Angels Swingtime in particular...so after some anxious moments, I managed to win 6 different crosses with A.Swingtime either as pod/pollen parent all hybridised by Eddie Stiltner...

                                             
              
 The first to flower was the Angels Swingtime x Naughty Nick.....this was a real buzz because it was my first cv with more than a single corolla and it was a very pretty one, right from the first time it opened...   

Each  flower is identical in shape except for Spring when the corollas stay tucked up in the first corolla.

The registered name for this cv is "THE DANCER"                                                             

Here it is in it's Spring pose....




The next to flower were the Angels Swingtime x Mango Crush, these were all orange singles but each one was different from it's sibling..one looked like A.Sw with short corolla tips, the second had longer petal tips and the third looked more like Mango Crush......
Those little corolla tips are just like Angels Swingtime.



Peach Fantasy
This Angels Swingtime x Angels Exotic cross was interesting right from the start as it seemed to take very hot weather in it's stride, so I took cuttings before it ever flowered,
it's a really colourful cv...starting off as a yellow and white double in it's first flowering.








But this year it has grown even more beautiful and the corollas have increased to 3 or 4 as seen 
below and right.








The transition from yellow to peach is really attractive and the shape of this cv to my eyes is just perfect... 




                                                   VANILLA SPLIT and VANILLA SPLICE
These cream beauties are very different....they are Angels Swingtime x Angels Sunbeam.
Pod siblings and identical cvs........they both have seperated inner corollas..
A.sw x A.sun #1
A.sw x A.sun #2



These flowers below left and right, are showing some of the seperated corollas.
Both of the cvs are heavy flushers and sweetly scented




SUGARTIME
Angels Swing time x New Orleans Lady, this cv has the most wonderful perfume..
It starts to waft at about 4pm then lasts until late in the morning....
Definitely one for near a window or doorway......




                                          ANGELS SWINGTIME x NAUGHTY NICK #2
Little Nicky
                                                                           





Above left ↑...Georgia Peach x Angels Swingtime.. very nice single, good perfume, strong texture in corolla.



HerrenhaĆ¼ser Gold x Angels Swingtime
Lovely corolla tips on this cultivar. This is the first flush so Spring 2016 should be interesting, I hope that it stays yellow.
It will be my first yellow double/triple. there is a 3rd corolla in each bloom.
