In order to avoid the Postal mayhem that surrounds the holiday season and better ensure the safety of the seeds and their prompt delivery, my next shipping date will be Monday, January 7, 2019. Exceptions can be made if you wish.
Pod parent: TTBWKTM3-2 (unregistered) 28” Mre SEV 7˝” deep orchid with multiple white chevrons over a yellow to green throat, 1 lateral and a terminal Y with 18 buds. This seedling has the most color saturation of the 3 I kept from this cross. The patterning was just as pronounced in our extremely hot 2018 summer as it was in the cooler than normal 2017 and appears to be independent of temperature. {TOOKY TOOKY BIRD X [(WILSON SPIDER x KINDLY LIGHT) x TOMORROW’S SONG] x MILITARY SCHOOL}.
Pollen parent: DMAB6TTBBSO83-22 (unregistered) Gotta admit that I fell in love with the color and form and pattern of this new-for-2017 seedling. Clear medium pink with a red violet eye broken by multiple chevrons, the Spider ratio of the 12 blooms ranged from 3.857 (boo hoo…) to 5.4:1 (yippee!). Cascading, recurving blooms were 8” with a 13” wingspan. Promptly moved to the selected bed. Still had 12 buds in 2018 on 30” scapes, but, since almost everything was remarkably shorter in 2018 (flooding in 2017 followed by excessive heat and drought in 2018?), I expect it to get taller in future years. One of the few seedlings that showed patterning in the hottest part of the 2018 summer. {(Dallas Star seedling x MALACHITE PRISM) x ADDERBOLT] x BANSHEE CRADLESONG] X (TOOKY TOOKY BIRD x BANSHEE SONATA)}.
