We had "cold rain" forecast for last Saturday, and so I woke up to really cold rain: snow! Be careful driving Greg!

You can really see the Cat's Eye parentage in the second one. Looks like a larger version of the dwarf.

Really like the falls on the first with the thumbprint of darker color and the pale edging. Really pretty with the peachy standards.

Now we're talking. Check this beauty out!!!!!!




Seedling 11-TB-16-23. Parentage is Smoky Shadows X Iconic.

Tall, dark, and ruffled. Somewhat similar to Smoky Shadows, but taller, more intense darker standards, and darker falls with cleaner areas near the beard. Linning out for a possible 2016 introduction. Lovey dubby

"Not exactly sure what to make of this one. Can't figure out if the veins detract from the horns? Or if it is too "busy"? We'll plant it back and look at it again next year to see if we can better determine if it is something we want to move forward with or not."

I say introduce it! How about the rest of you ATP'ers??
