Ok, I have heard from the masters and this is what was said.

Two of Brad's pictured seedlings and one of Sherry's are going to be introduced in 2017!!!!!!

Ok, I need to go back and verify my memory of the email!😃

I "spoke" the truth. Superstition will have four(4) TB introductions in 2017 and three (3) of the four are pictured in the Brad/Sherry seedling pictures posted earlier. OMG

WHICH ONES!!!!!!!

They won't say. What a tease🙀

Also, you might mention that the blue lined one that many seem to like has been pulled from potential intro status, we kept a few but it will most likely be gone after 2017, the form was just too old-fashioned. We thought about going with it as a sort of retro intro, but even decided against that. But we think have better formed blue lined ones coming.

Dang!😕

On Brad's pictures I like:

Numbers 5 & 6 with number 3 a strong third place finisher.

Good to know, even if the suspense is frustrating. Hilarious!

Thank you, Greg. Smiling I tip my hat to you.

Surely one of them will be Sherry's picture #8 -- left hand side, bottom row. The color is wonderful -- and it's a space-ager!!

I think the color is wonderful on that one, but it is similar to Solar Fire so I wonder if they will keep it.

Solar Fire Lovey dubby is on my order list for next year, but when I look at the pictures, it appears that the horns/flounces are not always present? If so, it could be improved on, I guess.
Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice!
