Pollen parent: BUZZQUILL (Michaels 2014 introduction registered in 2013) was my favorite diploid 2009 selection. It has quilling, it has curling, it has wonderful light lavender rose coloring with prominent veins and a light blue violet eye and that eye is narrowly etched in fuchsia. The 42” upright scapes produce 2-3 lateral branches and 18-34 buds. DOR. Bloom size is 7-8" depending on recurve and it's very fertile either way. Because it's so fat, I'm using it mostly for pattern breeding and saw several patterned kids from it in 2013 and this summer, but the form is nonetheless great so I'm taking it that way, too. A diploid Crispate Unusual Form that produces narrow to average sized fans.. (FLUID DYNAMICS X ROSEMARY WHITACRE).
Goals: Hoping for huge quillers in shades of purple.
