Pod parent: ZELAZNY (Michaels 2004) M 36" DOR 7" purple bitone 4.3:1 spider with cream midribs over large chartreuse to lime throat, 2 well spaced laterals and 23 buds. A vigorous increaser with deep green leaves that makes small fans. A pod and pollen fertile diploid that I've used to increase scape strength and improve foliage color, its an excellent performer in zone 4 Iowa. Makes skinny fans. Named in memory of Roger Zelazny, author of THIS IMMORTAL, LORD OF LIGHT, ROADMARKS, the Amber series, and dozens of other novels, as well as numerous award winning short stories. I've been told that the name translates as "iron." Pod parent of BANSHEE BABY TALK. (MISS JESSIE X LADY FINGERS).
Pollen parent: NNWSH11BLPMOM-3 (unregistered) 38” M DOR 7” (10˝” wingspan) deep cream 4.45:1 Spider with a purple eyezone over a chartreuse throat. Lots of movement with sepals that twist and quill while the petals curl. Quite fragrant, too. Moved to the selected bed in August, 2016, a terminal Y and one lateral holding 16 buds was produced on each of its 2 scapes. Definitely being observed for possible introduction due to the wonderful movement. [(NINA NINA WOLVERINA x SCISSORHANDS) X [(BLACK PASSION x MONSTER MAGIC)].
