WE WILL BE UNABLE TO SHIP OR INVOICE AUCTION WINS FROM 9/25 UNTIL 10/7.
AUCTION IS FOR 5 SEEDS FROM THE CROSS OF SWEET REPEAT X LIGHTNING ROUND.
POD PARENT DESCRIPTION:
Sweet Repeat – 29″, 5.75″, M, no fragrance, Dormant, Tetraploid, 4 branches, 20 buds, instant rebloom
Parentage: (Sugar in the Morning x (((Belle Cook x Eternal Glory) x Pinewood Easter Morning) x Adelyn Marie))
Traditional rebloom is not an important feature in our northern climate. For flowers that bloom from mid July through mid August, having a second bloom season beginning in late August results in flowers that get stunted and refuse to open due to the cool nights of September. However, if we can get instant rebloom through multiple scapes per fan, then we can get a longer bloom season but still have the mid-summer warmth allow the flowers to perform well. Sweet Repeat blooms in mid season but the mature fans will get a second and even a third scape while the first scape is in bloom. Even without the multiple scapes per fan, the flowers are delightful with a huge edge featuring teeth, loops, and ruffles. Mature clumps will be covered with flowers as the picture below shows 19 perfect flowers open. This is a great northern flower but it should perform well all across the northern regions of our country. Fertile both ways, Sweet Repeat will add great plant habit to any hybridizing program.
POLLEN PARENT DESCRIPTION:
*LIGHTNING ROUND G. Pierce 332-A (Fancy Lace) x Seedling ( Snow Crystal x Tet Tuscawilla Snowdrift) SEV EM RE 32” high 7” flower 9 way branching 45 buds Ever-bloomer Blue/green arching foliage. In the photo LIGHTNING ROUND is on the right and H. Fancy Lace on the left. I did this, so the customer can better judge size or more accurately / honestly, which in my opinion has become a foreign term to big hybridizers today. *Only you can put a stop to this… LIGHTNING ROUND is a pink based near white not a yellow based near white. I say near white because large white/whites just melt in the sun. You will find LIGHTNING ROUND to be big, ruffled, flat and fancy on every bloom with a wonderful scape. She is priced to sell only because I kept her back 2 extra years to set pods – So I have good stock to offer. I make thousands of (White) crosses every season and making something Different / Eye Catching / Better… AND with ALL the good plant habits, isn’t easy so when I do release one – It’s a goodie! You’ll notice the sunlight does not pass through on LIGHTNING ROUND! Enjoy… Easily fertile both ways.
