Pod parent: TOOKY TOOKY BIRD (Michaels 2014 introduction registered in 2013) Mre 32" SEV 6½" peach and salmon (peach and fawn after several hot days in a row) blend with rose lavender eye widely edged with red violet over a yellow to green throat. The pattern is mimicked a bit on the sepals and the petals display pale midrib darts. TOOKY TOOKY BIRD has so far proven to be my best parent for producing patterned seedlings. An early morning opener after 50º nights. The frequently quilled sepals increase the interest for me, of course. Two laterals on stout scapes with 18 buds each. Reblooms even in drought conditions and makes average diploid sized fans. Fertile both ways, it can pass both missing color pattern and wide color bands, and it produces kids that run the full gamut of forms from bagel through UF to Spider. “Tooky Tooky” is what George of the Jungle called his toucan friend. Seedling DCWCSTHGDD-24, the parentage is {[Dallas Star seedling 2-12 x (Chin Whiskers x Little Witching Hour seedling 1) seedling 6] X [Cerulean Star x (Heavenly Gift x Dragon Dreams seedling 5) seedling 1]}.
Pollen parent: TRCWLWHPGIG-18 (unregistered) 23-28” Mre DOR 7” purple with a deeper halo broken with lighter shading, lighter eye on the sepals as well, lighter edges and pale sepal tips that are usually hidden by recurve. A favorite for color and pattern since 2014, it took until it rebloomed in 2018 for it to produce scapes with a reasonable height and bud count bud count (one lateral, terminal Y and 18 buds) and it took until it rebloomed for it to set pods. Still being held for observation since its first scapes in 2018 were only 23” tall and 23” is way too short for the bloom size. {[TRAHLYTA x (CHIN WHISKERS x LITTLE WITCHING HOUR)] x PRETTY GRAPHIC] X INSTANT GRAFFITI}.
