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: 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 vicious 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: TEGOCBLPBLCTF-43 (unregistered) 39” M-ML DOR 7½-8” (12½” wingspan) purple 6.05:1 Spider that usually displays a mottled look outside of its deeper halo when it first opens and sometimes shows a grayish cast similar to TRAHLYTA; yellow to green throat. A terminal W and one lateral branch average 20 buds. {[(TYLWTH TEG x ORCHID CORSAGE) X [BLACK PASSION x (BANSHEE LOVE CALL x TENNESSEE FLYCATCHER)]}.
