Steve, I like 1059 Vincent X (1662 Stelts x 912 Minor) Which is the 288 Lbs Buglio H.D. Winner. You want to talk Orange,,,, Plus has he potential to go Heavy with the 1662 as the mother. My #1 choice

Both 1662 Stelts and 912 Minor went 10% heavy. I somehow missed the 1295.5 Bailey last fall. Nice shape, color and genetics.

811 Gehadt. Also, the 1295.5 Baily looks really nice on paper. Orange and potential to go really heavy from the Miller in it...

Don Young, if I weren't taking oxycodone for knee replacement pain, I would have crapped my pants laughing.

I really like the 1491 Werner also. I am going to give the 1784 Glasier a go this year thinking along those same lines. It is the same cross as the 1491.

The 1791 Holland was HUGE and Orange. May hold some big orange genes. I am not a particular orange lover myself. Like the mystery of what color they turn out BIG and HEAVY here...hee

I'll be interested to see how my 922 does next year. I sent out a few seeds on requests, so hopefully it grows well for the people. It's 1778 Daletas x 2009 Wallace. Everyone knows what the 2009 packs, but the 1778 simply was heavy in everything it grew or pollinated last year. I like that seed.
Mine was growing at the fastest pace I ever experienced, but slowed midway through the year. Not saying it will be the top big n' orange, but it has great parents.
Pics in my diary last year, if you're interested. It was perfectly round. Same end to end as side to side numbers and +8%.
