I'm already watching a couple of other seedlings with Ludger's Summer Dream x Creamsicle as the father and now I can ad this one to the mix.  The Ludger's Summer Dream x Creamsicle plant that was the pollen parent of this seedling is still in my hybridizing program.  I recently made a few crosses with it as the pod parent and it looks like the pods are sticking.
