HEY LOOK AT ME (P. Black 21)
SDB Midseason-Late 12” (30cm)
The color demands you look. Vivid yellow gold standards flushed apricot stand open enough to reveal mid apricot styles. Burnished apricot falls blend to gold edges and are set afire with big, brilliant orange beards. Clumps scream, “Hey Look At Me”.

HIT THE JACKPOT (T. Johnson ’21)
SDB Mid 13” (33cm)
I have a bit of a fascination for beards especially on the SDBs. In my opinion the beard can make or break the flower. The large blue frosted beards on this canary yellow self definitely “make” the blooms on Hit the Jackpot. The white patch under and around the beard only adds to the contrast. Startling and beautiful in clump!!

HOOCHIE COOCHIE (Thomas Johnson ’22)
SDB Midseason 14” (36cm)
Light sweet fragrance. Medium orange standards blushed violet in the midrib. Falls have a creamy pink ground. There is a lighter area around and below the beard that becomes a band of purple dotting and then finally a gold edge. Brilliant tangerine beards top it off. Phew, what a wild and bright color combo!!

I DREAMED A DREAM (P. Black ‘20)
SDB Late-Very Late 15.5” (39cm)
And the dream is a very late blooming SDB with multiple branches spaced to allow all flowers to open freely. It’s now reality. Iridescent mid purple standards shine above purple black falls with white rays around burnt orange beards. Two branches plus spur have 6-7 buds. Excellent parent.

I’M IN LOVE (Paul Black '22)
SDB Midseason-Late 15” (38cm)
Pronounced sweet fragrance. Yes, it was love a first sight and that hasn’t changed in its subsequent years of evaluation. It is at the top of my favorite SDBs. Bright, cheery and personable are good descriptors for it. White styles peer from inside bright yellow standards veined and toned slate violet in upper third. Bright yellow luminata patches give way to white shoulders blending to light lilac washed falls veined overall dark lilac. Two toned orange and marigold beards add fiery passion. Variable color and markings. Fabulous parent.

Very light icy blue standards. The falls are a milk glass white with deep gold thumbprint hafts that extend down the petal. Huge frosted lavender blue beards complete the combination. Super strong grower and very floriferous making a quick and showy clump.

Lime olive standards and margins on violet falls. All petals irregularly splased with purple. Markings somewhat variable depending on weather. Unique!

LET’S TALK (P. Black '21)
SDB Early-Midseason 13” (33cm)
Definitely not the usual violet and white plicata. There is an interesting dialog between the redder dark plum standards and the white falls widely plicata banded mid violet blue with red plum hafts. Big golden beards end with a neat lilac shadow.

Sweet fragrance. Deep canary yellow standards with heavy red violet plicata dotted edge and midrib. Falls have heavily violet dotted hafts and a blush of yellow. Below the beard is a large creamy yellow ground with light violet lines that fork and branch to the distal end. Wonderful pattern.
