AUCTION IS  FOR 5 SEEDS FROM THE COMPLEX COMPLEXITIES X THE FANTASTIC BARBARA WATTS.
 

POD PARENT:

COMPLEX COMPLEXITIES (Ludlow Lambertson 2012)
TET 5" Sev E Re 27"
(Victorian Gardens Heavens Applause X Seedling)
COMPLEX COMPLEXITIES is a very special reverse bicolor with amber cream petals and muted rose sepals. The multi-patterned eye is fuchsia and cream and can have different looks every day. Green throat. 3-way branching, 20 buds. Fertile both ways.

CC HAS PROVEN HARDY THROUGH TWO BRUTAL ZONE 5 WINTERS.  I'VE  SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS CHASING BROKEN PATTERNED EYES BUT CC IS BY FAR AND AWAY THE MOST CONSISTENT IN THAT CLASS EVER IN OUR GARDEN.

POLLEN PARENT:

THE FANTASTIC BARBARA WATTS

Ev. M. Re.  30”scapes.  6” flowers.  A pale cream flower with an intense patterned eye of lavender rose that is present on both petals and sepals.  The flower also carries a large rose purple edge that sometimes has hints of cream and teeth.  Fertile. 

WE  USED FANTASTIC BARBARA WATTS HEAVILY BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS ONE OF THE FINEST PATTERNS WE HAD SEEN IN SOME TIME.  WE SAW SALTER'S PROGRAM IN HATTIESBURG RECENTLY, AND NOW WE BELIEVE IT MAY ALSO PROVE TO BE ONE OF THE BEST TET PATTERN BREEDERS AVAILABLE.

OUR SEEDS WERE PRODUCED IN OUR GARDEN.  THEY WILL HAVE BEEN IN THE REFRIGERATOR FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS WHEN THIS AUCTION CLOSES.  WHILE WE RECOGNIZE THERE ARE MANY POSITIVE REASONS FOR GREENHOUSE PRODUCTION, WE LIKE TO KNOW THAT AT LEAST ONE PARENT IS HARDY HERE IN ZONE 5.  THIS IS A POSITIVE THAT EVEN MANY OF OUR FRIENDS ON THE GULF COAST VALUE AFTER LAST WINTER.  UNLESS OUR SEEDS HAVE TWO 2014 INTRODUCTIONS AS PARENTS, YOU KNOW THAT AT LEAST ONE PARENT CAN HANDLE COLD WEATHER.  SHIPPING WILL BE BY USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL.  WE SHIP ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.  SEEDS ARE SHIPPED IN ZIP-LOCK BAGS ROLLED IN BUBBLE WRAP AND SENT IN A PADDED MAILER.  WE CAN COMBINE UP TO 15 PACKETS IN OUR PADDED MAILERS FOR ONE SHIPPING FEE.  WE WILL NOT SHIP YOUR SEEDS UNTIL YOU REQUEST US TO.  SHIPPING FEES ARE $3 FOR UNITED STATES SHIPMENTS AND $6 FOR ALL INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS.  WE MUST COLLECT 7.25% STATE SALES TAX FROM ILLINOIS RESIDENTS.  BONUS SEEDS WILL BE INCLUDED IF PAYMENT IS RECEIVED WITHIN 10 DAYS OF AUCTIONS CLOSE.
