Pod parent: CZSLGADDMLS-5 (unregistered) M 37” DOR 6” this chubby purple has always had a dark-etched missing color chevron inside a stippled patch on the petals since it was selected in 2014. Additionally, there is often a patch of stippled color outside of a chevron that you’d otherwise never see on the sepals, and there are times when the entire sepal is stippled, as if someone tried to rub the color off. Kind of kinky. Scapes have 1-2 laterals with 18-24 buds. {[(CRAZY PIERRE x SCRAMBLED LEGS) x ADDERBOLT)] X MILITARY SCHOOL}.
Pollen parent: WKTM2IG-19 (unregistered) I’ve been fooled by first bloomers before so when this seedling opened its mere 5 very weird flowers in 2017, I didn’t bother to use its pollen. In 2018, when all the blooms on 4 scapes looked like this, its kinkiness overshadowed that fact that it was only 24” tall. Red violet with a bit of lighter halo over a chartreuse throat, the flowers were sometimes streaked with white but each always had crests at the tips on either side of its midribs on every petals. Usually the crests devolved closer towards the center of the bloom into paler ridges, and when I first noticed the flower in 2017, I thought “how cool, it has pale stripes on each petal tip” but no, it was really crests similar to those on Curt Hanson’s THE OWL that he called “owl ears.” It certainly has better color than THE OWL. Blooms are 6½” and the plant is most likely DOR. Only 8-9 buds per scape, but who cares – there’s so much breeding potential! {[(WILSON SPIDER x KINDLY LIGHT) x TOMORROW'S SONG) x MILITARY SCHOOL] X INSTANT GRAFFITI}.
