Lynn,

If I get a real dark grey seedling from 'Plastic' I'll have to name it TEFLON! Oh that would cause Ed Skrocki to howl! I remember when I crossed his 'Olivette' with a red and got 'Stuffed Olive'. He howled over that too! Last year I self-pollinated a stalk of 'Stuffed Olive' to try and get some more olive tones a brighter red. The seedlings are definitely showing red centers already.

I love Stuffed Olive, and the red stolons are wonderful. Looking forward to seeing the seedlings. Why did the name Stuffed Olive make Ed howl?

Teflon, what a great name for a dark grey Plastic.

OK Ed had named his 'Olivette' because it looked liked olives. Of course my thought was "it would look MORE like an olive with a PIMENTO stuffing it". So I made the cross with 'Malby's #2' and 'Stuffed Olive' was one of the seedlings that looked most like a stuffed olive. Ed SCREAMED WITH HYSTERIA when I sent him a piece. He thought it was a great joke to one-up his hybrid by "stuffing it" and wished he had thought of the name.

Kevin, who is 60 years young today!
