Except for PIGMENT OF IMAGINATION, STARLIGHT SPLASH and a beautiful seedling shared by Steve Williams, I no longer grow cultivars that did not originate in my garden. This was an effort to downsize (worked) and to force me to focus on producing patterned true spiders (didn’t work). Focus? Nope, I was still trying to pollinate everything and so made a great many more crosses than I could handle. Thus, most of these seed offerings involve at least one seedling. Forgive me.
Pod parent: MVMLS47WIZ-17 (unregistered) 37” M-Mlre DOR 5¼” the purple blooms almost always have pinched petals and always displayed some eye pattern despite 2018’s heat. Scapes topped with a terminal Y had 2 laterals and 22-26 buds in 2018 after being moved to the selelcted bed in late summer of 2016. [(MAUDE’S VALENTINE x MILITARY SCHOOL) X WIZARD DELUXE].
Pollen parent: SHOTTBIG17-24 (unregistered) This tailored 8” pink with deeper eye always displayed a double chevron in 2017, its first year of bloom and even showed pattern in the extreme heat of 2018. The base color was also a more saturated pink in 2018 than in its first year of bloom. A mere 27” tall but I suspect taller scapes once it establishes itself in the selected bed. Went from 8 buds in 2017 to 12 in 2018 after being moved. [STARSHOT X (TOOKY TOOKY BIRD x INSTANT GRAFFITI)].
