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: ADDSABDIVTF-8 (unregistered) 40” MLre DOR 9¾” yellow 4.27:1 Spider heavily stippled with red, especially at the eye zone, over a very green throat. Strong scapes held 2-3 laterals under a terminal W in 2018 with 32-46 buds (!) and the plant even rebloomed. {ADDERBOLT X [SKIN AND BONES x (DIVERTISSMENT x TENNESSEE FLYCATCHER)]}.
Pollen parent: DS270C1BLC3RD-1 (unregistered) 36” (Ugh! Only 23” tall in 2018! Seriously, this is unacceptable. I sure hope it goes back to its normal height next year because I love this seedling so) M DOR 16” wingspan (when it bloomed during the extreme drought of 2016, it was just ½” smaller but with the record amount of rain in 2017, it was back to 16,” then in 2018 it was up to 16½” but the scapes were so short, blooms dragged on the ground). Curling pink 6.8:1—7:1 Spider with large, deeper halo over a yellow to green throat. Very strong scapes held on high laterals under a terminal Y and 25 buds. May be a future intro if it decides on a reasonable scape height. {[(Dallas Star seedling that was a sibling to LIQUID MEMORY x ORCHID CORSAGE) x BANSHEE LOVE CALL] X THIRD ACT}.
