BUDGIE (T. Johnson ’21)
SDB Mid 13” (33cm)
Flashy canary yellow with a yellow patch around the beard, then a diffused rust spot encircled by a wide canary yellow border. What really makes Budgie stand out is the ruffled, rounded petals and the overall symmetrically round flowers. Very cute indeed!!

FAMOUS (P. Black '21)
SDB Midseason-Late 13” (33cm)
'‘Famous’ is a minimal plicata that is wonderfully unique. Dark mahogany standards are lightly laced and rimmed mid tan. Cream styles have mid mahogany ridge and crest centers. Dark yellow throat and hafts of falls are plicata lined and sanded black mahogany. The lower 2/3rds of fall is dark mahogany black. Big bright beards are two-toned marigold to yellow. So far it has been a difficult parent.

FLYING MONKEY (P. Black '21)
SDB Midseason-Late 12” (30cm)
What a sight this monkey is with a wonderful luminata pattern. Standards are cream heavily washed mid khaki as are the styles. Falls have huge neon marigold beards surrounded by clear mid yellow throat and hafts giving way to white surrounding their tips. The falls lower half is washed/sanded mid brown and narrowly banded tan gold. What a sight! Very showy clumps. Excellent parent.

HEY LOOK AT ME (P. Black 21)

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!!

LITTLE BAND OF GOLD (P. Black ‘20)

TB Early 32” (81cm)
Brilliant golden yellow Standards. Falls are oxblood red with a wide mustard gold band and then a red wire edge. Extremely bright, almost shocking color combination! Very early to bloom on good stems with 8 buds. The falls remind me more of the spot pattern found in SDBs. FUN!!

MOUSE THAT ROARED (P. Black '21)
SDB Midseason-Late 11” (28cm)
It may be small, but it has a big impact in a clump. It is another variation on a plicata theme reaching back to ‘Ghost Ship’. It is a luminata but not in the traditional TB style luminatas by having darker fall veins rather than lighter. The upper half of white standards are shaded mid slate purple with butter edges. Startling white styles peak out from between them. Falls have bright yellow throats blended to white then washed light to mid violet to edges. Chlorophyl lines streak alongside beards turning to mid violet and darkening to edges.

MY FAIR CHER (P. Black ‘20)
