AUCTION IS FOR FIVE SEEDS FROM THE CROSS OF GNASHING OF TEETH X NAN RIPLEY'S SEEDLING 10NR593B (GREAT CREATOR).
POD PARENT:
GNASHING OF TEETH IS A PARENT OF OUR "GASKINS 1305" AND A GRANDPARENT OF THE POLLEN PARENT.
GNASHING OF TEETH TET 35502 {[(Lifting Me Higher x Fortune's Dearest) x (Forbidden Desires x Tet. Lavender Blue Baby)] x [(Fortune's Dearest x Lifting Me Higher) x Doyle Pierce]}, 29" (24" in rough winters or until established in zone 4, and on rebloom), M (to late-mid), Ev, fr, reliable MN instant rebloom, 6-1/2" (up to 7"), 3-way branching (shape of a W) with 18 buds (2-way with 12 buds at Springwood in zone 4 in years 1 and 2 after planting, higher thereafter and with more snow cover), good opener. Grape cranberry with pale lavender eye and edge plus pale ivory to white; yellow to green throat. AMAZING parent for large, very sharky, introduction quality kids in all color ranges and forms (see MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST and future intro 22305, and there will be many others once they have met their testing periods). Slower increaser (one fan will only go to two the next year). Sharky even when temps are in the high 60's to mid-70's, but will lose almost all of them in the 50's. Tested outside for 3 years at Springwood without mulch but in a somewhat more protected area of the garden with a bit more snow cover than other areas. Not the best garden plant at Springwood due to frequent spotting from very heavy dew, but it doesn't pass that on to most of the kids. Tested at Linda Agin's in Alabama and evaluated as outstanding as both a garden plant and a parent. Flawless in greenhouse settings. Super rust resistance. (Beautiful foliage this fall, while surrounding plants were full of rust spots. Note that all plants at Springwood are outside for the winter to kill off the rust. Seen here for the first time this year, and by even stricter quarantining I hope to never see these golden measles again). I won't be able to ship GNASHING OF TEETH until late May/early June, since it emerges very, very late in the spring - it seems to know not to come out of the ground until after frost danger has passed - please don't worry and go digging around and looking for it. Also, the fans may look small and somewhat tentative as they first come up, but they will be large once the season gets going. Fertile both ways - easy pollen and average to above average pod fertility (hits 50-70% of the time).
POLLEN PARENT:
NAN HAS INFORMED ME THAT THIS SEEDLING IS NOW REGISTERED. THE NAME IS GREAT CREATOR.
Ripley’s seedling10NR593B (Randy Stephens x Red Friday)Tet
Height 36”, bloom 5.5 +, 4-5 way branching, easy pod setter, pollen excellent. It has been early in my garden, Dormant, and Reblooms. Great red that does not spot with teeth on petals & sepals a plenty.
I will introduce this seedling in 2017. First bloomed in 2012, I feel it gets better each year. In 2013 I moved and divided the plant into two clumps, it still set pods and multiplied.
Last fall I divided one of the clumps. Winner will receive 1 blooming size fan to be shipped in spring 2016. This plant is field grown and hardy in my garden zone 4/5. It has gone through 2 of the hardiest winters we have had since I started hybridizing. It increases well naturally. It is outstanding in my field garden. 10MR593 always opens and doesn’t get hung up. This is one of my best seedlings to date. Outstanding in every way.
This is the only fan that will be sold before introduction in 2017. I will contact the buyer when it is registered with the name. This fan will be shipped to the lucky winner spring of 2016.
WE WILL SHIP WORLD-WIDE TO COUNTRIES WITH NO RESTRICTIONS ON SEED. WE SHIP TO COUNTRIES OTHER SELLERS REFUSE TO. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SHIPPED TO EVERY CONTINENT.
