Pod parent: TTBIG –17 (unregistered) 32” M SEV on the DOR side 7˝ - 8” apricot cream with multiple rippled purple eye. This was the holy moly moment of the 2015 seedling season here. First bloomed in 2015 with only 6 buds, but each bloom had 4-6 purple waves! Quickly moved to the selected bed where it proved itself to be a most worthy plant that held its pattern, throughout the extreme heat and drought of both 2016 and 2018. Scapes sport one lateral under a TW with 27 buds. It even reblooms, and it’s fragrant, too! A probable 2020 intro, every bloom displayed pattern despite the extreme heat and drought in 2018. (TOOKY TOOKY BIRD X INSTANT GRAFFITI).
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.
