Thanks to both for the confidence in what I am doing, I think most small hybridizers like myself try to release only what they think are there best. We are not under the pressure of the big guys to release a certain number every year. I do this because its the most enjoyable thing (next to playing music) I have ever done. It's dirty,hot, and a lot of hard work but every now and then something comes out of it that makes it all worth while.
Here is a flower that will be registered this fall. I have lost sleep over this flower the last three years because it is so inconsistent every year with the scape and bud count which has never been great. It's better this year than its ever been and I have been asked by many people when I will register this flower so they can use it. It has one of the most distinctive blooms I have seen and is pod and pollen fertile. It is not a garden flower and should be used for hybridizing. It puts the same type edge on it's babies. It has great parentage and the babies always out preform it.
These photos were taken over the past couple of weeks, the first proto was taken three years ago with a different camera, the flower is not as dark as it shows, every bloom is the same every day.
