RE: AB: Ode To Kalifa

Oh, Christy, that is gorgeous.  Congratulations to Walter for creating it.  Makes me wish I had kept a piece back in the greenhouse.  Oh well, maybe next year.

 

Will be very interested to see how the color spots do out of doors.  Now there is a project.  Grow everything considered “virused” indoors and see if the flecking goes away <G>.

The official Checklist describes this as "OGB-  (Walter Moores. 1978). 16" S. pale blue, flecked olive and dark blue; F. olive, flecked dark blue; burnt orange beard tipped white."

 

This pampered doll has been in the greenhouse, protected from the weather, and shows a softer color without the dark flecks. (You might notice the anthers are missing. :-))  Except for the flecking, it matches the description almost perfectly (greenhouse height is 18") so it's a pretty safe bet that the streaking and spotting seen on ABs at times is a reaction to climate and not virus.

 

2 more starts are planted in the garden and should bloom next season giving an ideal comparison of weather related color.
