Pod parent: MIRROR SHADES (Michaels 2010 introduction registered in 2009) EM 27" SEV 5" medium rosy lavender with large blue violet washed eye over green throat, the ruffled tepal edges are considerably lighter in color and the sepals display a white watermark. First bloomed in 2002. Rebloomed well in 2011 and 2012 despite the dry (now, that's an understatement!) summers. One lateral and 18 buds usually, though it can do many more if not overpodded and it's a fairly fast increaser but, alas, is so far only pod fertile. Had I been more with it at the time of registration, I would have registered it as an UF because it's decidedly spatulate. Makes small to average sized diploid fans (CHIN WHISKERS X LITTLE WITCHING HOUR).
Pollen parent: SHOTTBIG17-24 (unregistered) This tailored 8” pink with deeper eye always displayed a double chevron in 2017, its first year of bloom and even showed pattern in the extreme heat of 2018. The base color was also a more saturated pink in 2018 than in its first year of bloom. A mere 27” tall but I suspect taller scapes once it establishes itself in the selected bed. Went from 8 buds in 2017 to 12 in 2018 after being moved. [STARSHOT X (TOOKY TOOKY BIRD x INSTANT GRAFFITI)].
