Pod parent: POETRY COMMOTION (Michaels 2017) Mre 34” DOR this 6˝” (8˝” wingspan) very variable Crispate Unusual Form is deep glowing rose violet with a purple eye over a lime throat that shows very little yellow. It also displays lighter edges on the sepals and partway up the petals and, most often, lighter edge shading in the eye. With heavy substance for a diploid, the sepals curl, twist and sometimes quill. Scapes sport a terminal Y and an average aof 2 lateral branches with 30-34 buds. An early morning opener, it is also extended and a consistent rebloomer here. Very pod fertile with good pollen, it makes smallish fans. MAKES SMALL SEEDS. {[(CHIN WHISKERS x LITTLE WITCHING HOUR) x JOSEPH DREAM] X INSTANT GRAFFITI}.
Pollen parent: IGf2 (unregistered) 40” Mre DOR 7” this pink and rose bitone with lighter edges seedling was chosen in 2015 as a bridge plant for its heavy substance and the fact that it was much skinnier than its parent, but every year thereafter, every bloom has manifested some of the wildest movement in the garden. The sepals twirl and twist while the petals often pinch and there have been days when the sepals curl around the petals in such a way that the bloom has to be opened manually. The color tends to fade considerably in cool weather, but color is its least important trait. I should see the first kids from it in 2019. Slow to increase, the 2 scapes in 2018 each had one low lateral branch and a terminal Y with 16 and 18 buds respectively. This is the only selfed cross I’ve ever moved to the selected bed. (INSTANT GRAFFITI X INSTANT GRAFFITI).
