Pod parent: POETRY COMMOTION (Michaels 2017) Mre 34” DOR this 6˝” (8˝” wingspan) very variable Crispate Unusual Form is deep glowing rose violet with a purple eye over a lime throat that shows very little yellow. It also displays lighter edges on the sepals and partway up the petals and, most often, lighter edge shading in the eye. With heavy substance for a diploid, the sepals curl, twist and sometimes quill. Scapes sport a terminal Y and an average of 2 lateral branches with 30-34 buds. An early morning opener, it is also extended and a consistent rebloomer here. Very pod fertile with good pollen, it makes smallish fans. MAKES SMALL SEEDS. {[(CHIN WHISKERS x LITTLE WITCHING HOUR) x JOSEPH DREAM] X INSTANT GRAFFITI}.
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)].
