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: CONTACT HIGH (Michaels 2013 introduction registered in 2012) M-ML 51" SEV 6½" cool true medium pink 4.2:1 Spider that sports 2-3 lateral branches on sturdy scapes and 24-38 buds. Unlike its 3 other keeper seedlings, it is very pod fertile and has been a go-to parent in my garden several years, especially to add height. While I've produced numerous tall seedlings, very few stand up to the vicious winds here where I can't grow sunflowers that are over 3' tall, but CONTACT HIGH doesn't even lean. Has good pollen, too. Makes narrowish fans. Seedling FDSKN-14. (FLUID DYNAMICS X SKINWALKER).
Pollen parent: STARFISH ENTERPRISE (Michaels 2015 intro registered in 2014) M 38" DOR 8" This is just about the narrowest consistently quilled Crispate and Spatulate Unusual Forms I've ever seen. Cream pink with a pale salmon eye over a creamy yellow throat, the scapes produce 2 widely spaced laterals and a terminal W (i.e. 5 branches) holding an average of 21 buds. Fairly heavy substance allows the blooms to hold up all day; rebloomed in 2013. During its peak bloom period, the plant is an impressive mound of skinny stars that rarely overlap and I was positive I'd taken photos then. Guess what: I didn't. But I'll only have to wait two years for a second chance because this plant is eager to clump. Fertile both ways, I'm using it a lot in an attempt to get the widest part of the petals further out towards the tips while keeping the sepals quilled so that the spatulate nature is framed without distraction. Seedling CQBCS-22 (CHEAP QUILLS X BANSHEE CRADLESONG).
