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: LENNON SPEX (Michaels 2013 introduction registered in 2012) M 31"DOR 4" with 2 laterals and 20-25 buds, this round and ruffled yellow cream sports a shaded and patterned red violet eye that displays more colors and waves in the pattern the colder it gets. Cute, and a great pod and pollen fertile bridge plant for larger patterned and ruffled diploids. The name is the title of a glorious short story, one of my top 10, by Paul DiFilippo about a guy who puts on the glasses John Lennon was wearing when he was shot. Makes average sized fans. Seedling SCDDMV-11 [(SILOAM CINDERELLA x DRAGON DREAMS) X MAUDE'S VALENTINE].
Pollen 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].
