Nice seedling Michele, good color and teeth.

I am sure several people have treated RFK and EMERAL STARBURST as Pat Stamile did MALACHITE PRISM, all three were dips hybridized by George Doorakian. I tried to do some research on parentage of RFK and EMERAL STARBURST but he list one parent as a seedling which is very possible, on Julie Covington's web site he has thousands. I wanted the dips because thats what I want to work with at this time, if I get something really good I can have it treated.
I selected this 10 month old DIP seedling yesterday because of the scape and it sets seed easy. The pollen is sterile so I will never register it, just use it as a bridge plant. It also looks a lot like its pollen parent.
