The offer of F-2 seeds reiterates the potential fun of looking for intriguing recombinants. I am thinking of putting a list together myself this winter of F-2 lines for folks to try.
Tom, looking at individual parents in those crosses I think the following stand alone from anything you might have bred:

KBX
Anything NAR-ish
Goose Creek
BTD, and the other Brad Gates ones noted
Scabitha
Stupice
SunSugar F1
Dora
Momotaro F1

But I do see Green Zebra as one parent in one cross and Zebra Heart in another cross and off hand I don't know what's behind Violet Jasper and few others.

I love the new cherry called Green Zebra Cherry but it's nothing like Green Zebra at all taste-wiseand I think it was called that b'c superficially it resembles the typical striping of GZ. Found in a box of mixed cherries by Manfred Hahm in Germany.
