I hadn't planned on posting a review yet since I only got this in 2021. But it has impressed me so much this year, I decided to go ahead with a review.
Osterized is still only 3 fans strong, but I have 3 scapes this year and each bloom has been beautiful so far. And it is VERY fragrant because I can smell it from a few feet away and reminds me of honeysuckle.
Then today, I got a 5x5 poly!
I've read the other reviews and am so grateful to Judy for all the details about it. I can only imagine how proud she and Howard were when it won best in show. Being in between Michigan and Florida, I am hoping that branching and bud count will be more on the higher side, but mine is still settling in, so they are at 2 branches with about 10-12 buds. Scape height is also not up to the registered 30 inches yet.
Because of the fragrance and Judy's comment about the 5x5 blooms being more fertile, I decided to cross it with Seminole Wind this morning (one of the very few other tets I have blooming this morning). I am hoping to see those pumpkin sized pods!
