Brad is correct about the first seedling. It is indeed "Regimen" X "All Night Long". This one they are still evaluating as it is a slow increasing cross.

Seedling number 2 is moving forward and has been lined out in the fields for further evaluation. They may intro in 2016 or 2017 if it makes the cut (so they still have not decided if it is worthy yet). Parentage is unknown as it comes from a seed "jumble". I guess accidents do happen. Blinking Even with that "issue"; they are very sure that it either is from the "Hollywood Nights" // "All Night Long" lines.

Seedling number 3; the one we all were falling all over ourselves about has been destroyed! It did not meet their quality standards. This just goes to show that the bloom might look AMAZING but the other characteristics (bud count, hardiness, stalk form, flower form, increase speed) have a huge influence on if a plant gets introduced. It was a "grandkid" of "Arctic Burst" and this portends great things I think for this lineage moving forward. Seedling number 3 was "Magic Happens" X "Brainstorm"
