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: DITMTR-5 (unregistered) 34” M-ML DOR 5½-6” this deep burgundy Crispate Unusual Form not only displays lots of wild movement, it displayed lots of buds in its first year in the selected bed with 4 strong scapes each holding 2-3 laterals under the terminal Y and over 30 buds. Positively being observed for future introduction. (DAREDEVIL IMP X THE MOUSE THAT ROARED).
Pollen parent: COUNTERWISE WINE (Michaels 2014 registered in 2013) L (might be considered VL) 45" DOR 7" (9½" wingspan) saturated burgundy 4.18:1 Spider with a bit of ruffling and cream midribs over a yellow to green throat. Thick, strong scapes hold 1-2 laterals and 20+ buds. Opens earlier in cold weather than its dad, and, unlike daddy, it's quite pod fertile. And wow, is it kinky! Most blooms will display a tooth/protrusion/flap/little wing/whatever on at least one petal near the throat. Sometimes every petal has a growth, usually just tooth-shaped, on both sides. Sometimes the growth can be a ½" long "finger." This is a trait occasionally manifested in its mom, NINA NINA WOLVERINA, but the size and frequency of the growths are far greater in her kid. Despite being lined out in the spring of 2013, it bloomed later than it’s well-established dad in 2014 and again in 2015. The name comes from the Terry Pratchett's Disc World's time reversed alcohol. Hangovers occur before you drink counterwise wine as "hangunders" and are often so bad that you drink larger amounts just to get rid of them. Counterwise wine is made from reannual plants that grow and flower before they have germinated, essentially growing backwards. (NINA NINA WOLVERINA X MASCARA SNAKE).
