The Iceman did a 772 x 810 Dill cross that he was telling me about in September. Sounds like about as good a cross for orange as one could make.

The 1059.6 Vincent Mcgill is 993 x 904 Stelts. The pollinating plant grew our 1339.5 +9%. Not sure how the colour will continue in the next generation, but it definatly fits the big and orange criteria.

Doug,

Check out the 735 Veader-Hahn (2009). The cross is:
F: 1191.5 Northrup (2007)
X
M: 730 Dill (2006)

The pumpkin went 19% heavy to the chart.

There is a picture in the "Photo Gallery". Click on Farmer Chuck. It is "the pretty one" second from the end.
