Pod parent: TTBWKTM3-32 (unregistered) Mre 30” SEV 6” rose orchid with multiple missing color chevrons throughout both its first year (warm and dry 2016) and cold and wet 2017. One lateral and a terminal W sported 18 buds 2017, its first year in the selected bed, and 20 buds in 2018, one lateral under a terminal Y. Being observed for possible introduction since patterns that are not weather dependant are so very rare. {TOOKY TOOKY BIRD X [(WILSON SPIDER x KINDLY LIGHT) x TOMORROW’S SONG] x MILITARY SCHOOL}.
Pollen parent: WIZARD DELUXE (Michaels 2017 intro registered in 2016) Mre 48” DOR this 8” 4.208:1 Spider has a 12” wingspan. Naples yellow with a purple feathered eyezone that often has a blue sheen, it displays missing color broken eyezones throughout much of its bloom cycle. I wish it always had them, but the feathering of the eyezone maintains interest even when it’s too warm for patterning. Despite a lack of rain in July and most of August, 3 sets of strong scapes were sent up in 2015. The first had a terminal Y with 1-2 laterals and 18-23 buds. Each successive set of scapes had fewer buds and were about a foot shorter. The final scapes were 30” tall with only 8 buds but were a welcome sight in late August and I set pods on practically every one of those blooms. EMO and EXT, it is very pod and pollen fertile. The name’s origin: “Then suddenly the wind changed and the balloon floated down into the heart of this noble city where I was instantaneously acclaimed Oz, the first Wizard Deluxe.” I have to admit that I was as astounded when I saw the maiden bloom as the inhabitants of Emerald City were when that balloon landed because I had absolutely no clue there’d be patterns in the cross. WIZARD DELUXE positively, absolutely, undeniably and nearly reliably passes patterning to its kids.
