 when i saw it i thought aphylla immediately yes, it really caught my eye!
  but do you have aphyllas in your garden?
And in bloom when your G95W2 was in bloom?
if it was in 2004, you might not remember...!
 
 the shape can improve very fast if you use it with modern ones.
i like it a lot with it's thin stalks.
 
and even if you don't register it, you still can sell it under it's sdlg number, i wouldn't mind using it!!!

Here's 04R3, just cut during the snowstorm because 25 degrees is forecast for tonight.  It's flower form is better than its maiden bloom, which was on a dug plant first blooming indoors.  Yes, Loic, it's a TB.  Its parentage is G95W2 (Holy Night x Sweeter Than Wine) X bee.  The bee must have come straight from a strongly aphylla variety, because neither Holy Night nor Sweeter Than Wine, though nicely branched, has this kind of branching.  The flower may appear to be blue-violet on some monitors, but is actually just on the red side.
 
Even though its flower form isn't the latest style,  I'm thinking of introducing it for people who might want to get its branching and vigor into rebloom.  It's a cousin of 'Haunting' and will probably bloom earlier at higher elevations, as 'Haunting' does.  Your thoughts?  --  Griff
