Pod parent: INSTANT GRAFFITI (Michaels 2015 intro registered in 2014) Mre 35" DOR 7” This rose purple with darker eye outlined in pale pink has lighter tepal edges and was moved to the selected bed in August, 2011 after 2 years of blooming in the seedling bed. Of primary importance to me is that it maintained its color pattern during the 2 hottest summers we've experienced, unlike most patterned cultivars I grow, though I'd still classify it as a cold dominant pattern. Nearly every bloom had comparable patterning in our cooler 2013. With stout scapes holding 2 laterals and up to 30 buds, it has rebloomed every year since its first, producing 3 sets of scapes in 2013. Passing both etched eyes and dollop-of-color patterns, it is fertile both ways. Rather slow to increase, it makes rather chunky fans. Seedling CWLWHTOG-2 [(CHIN WHISKERS x LITTLE WITCHING HOUR) X TOMORROW'S SONG].
Pollen 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]}.
Goals: Don’t know why I didn’t think of this before! Since INSTANT GRAFFITI X TOOKY TOOKY BIRD made such an unexpectedly cool kid in seedling TTBIG-17, what could the reciprocal do?
