Pod parent: CONTACT HIGH (Michaels 2013 introduction registered in 2012) M-ML 51" SEV 6½" cool true medium pink 4.2:1 Spider that sports 2-3 lateral branches on sturdy scapes and 24-38 buds. Unlike its 3 other keeper seedlings, it is very pod fertile and has been a go-to parent in my garden several years, especially to add height. While I've produced numerous tall seedlings, very few stand up to the viscious winds here where I can't grow sunflowers that are over 3' tall, but CONTACT HIGH doesn't even lean. Has good pollen, too. Makes narrowish fans. Seedling FDSKN-14. (FLUID DYNAMICS X SKINWALKER).
Pollen parent: NNWHMTBCS-37 (unregistered) ML-L 54-61” (have to see if the higher number was due to the excessive rain of 2017) DOR 12” purple with a deeper eye over a cream green throat, the blooms curl as the day progresses. Very strong scapes stood up to every storm 2017 presented (unlike the fascia on the house, several trees and the barn doors) and hold 2 laterals and 25-35 buds. A fat, 4.08:1 spider that looks skinnier because it’s way up there, the blooms are EMO and EXT. A near-definite 2019 or 2020 intro. [(NINA NINA WOLVERINA x HEAVENLY MISTER TWISTER) X BANSHEE CRADLESONG].
