ASHWOOD SMOKEY JOE

NORRIS (2005)

seedling T01-73 ( T98-28 x TUPAC AMARU) SEV 5.25" M 30" The long-awaited ASHWOOD SMOKEY JOE is available. The most exciting discovery of the past two years is that ASJ passes the pattern along to its kids with ease. The babies are not duplicates of ASJ as so often happens with unique cultivars but are variations on the theme. The budding and branching on ASJ are excellent, in the range of 25 to 30 buds. The budding is passed along to the offspring too. The first bloom or two on ASJ tend to be a more solid, grayed purple. The rest of the blooms are more likely to show the pattern and coloration that have made this the most awaited of our cultivars. Some of the babies are even better at exhibiting the uniqueness of this line. The base color can be described as a grayed rosy-purple. A white edge outlines a dark purple to black border which varies in width. The rosy purple eye is outlined in a black border. The website image shows everything with more of a rose shading than there is in the flower. Excellent plant habit. Fertile both ways Babies are well branched and budded and quite distinctive��

The very hot summer of 2005 taught us something new. The temperatures were consistently higher than we have seen in years. The days were rarely far from 90 degrees if not over. In those conditions the pattern of ASHWOOD SMOKEY JOE is suppressed. The good news is that several of the children were unaffected by the temperatures and gave the marvelous pattern without regard to temperature. ASJ remains an important breeder for this grand new look.
