KISS THE FROG (P. Black ‘18)
BB Early-Midseason 26” (66cm)
How about an alluring update on the perennial favorite ‘Jungle Shadows’? It isn’t as dark and brooding as ‘Jungle Shadows’ but it still possesses that mysterious ambiance. ‘KISS THE FROG’ is part of my program to create green/turquoise BBs and TBs.

LEAVE ME BREATHLESS (T. Johnson ’19)
TB Midseason-Late 37” (94cm)
Slight fragrance. LEAVE ME BREATHLESS is exactly what happened when I first laid eyes on this one when it bloomed as a seedling for me the first time. I remember gasping when I got down to the end of the row and saw it. Large showy flowers scream LOOK AT ME! A very fun pattern indeed I am going to let the picture do the talking as far the color is concerned. Nice well branched stems carry 9 buds. A favorite that never fails to delight.

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.

MAKING A SCENE (T. Johnson ’20)
TB Midseason 35” (89cm)
Icy white standards with green veining up the midrib. Falls are white with gold veined hafts and gold and purple blended veins on either side of the beard. Then there is almost a complete white bar across the falls which transitions into purple lines and wash and finally a light lemon edge. A very complex color pattern indeed. Even the beard is different. The hairs are white at the base then orange and finally red at the tips. Nice branching and strong growth and 8 buds. A favorite seedling of mine for the last few years. Very distinctive and won’t be confused with anything else.
