exceptional display
Good luck! BTW - was that one of the original (Barbara Le Ann 'Select' x Rosalie Dixler 'Fox Valley' AM/AOS) seedlings we released a few years ago?

Pretty sure this came from a few I got from you in 2011. The number on the receipt was FV-18999. How many times have you made the cross? Have you always used the exact same parents?

That's awesome! I remember you sent me a picture of your desk with it on it. I'm glad you still have it there!

Omg beautiful
Because the initial cross was so successful using (Barbara LeAnn 'Select' x Rosalie Dixler 'Fox Valley' AM/AOS), I try to have some of this same breeding going in the lab and generally available online. The color saturation using these parents is surprising because the BL 'Select' parent did not exhibit particularly dark color. We recently remade FVF using our darker BL 'Bloody Mary' clone in an attempt to get more purple into the already saturated red color. We sold out of these pretty quickly in January, but we should have some more that should be saleable size in June.
