<< I ordered HOOPLA, Danielson, '88, from last year's ASI sale. It is
now blooming and fits the R & I description perfectly. This is
listed as 3/4 arilbred, but apparently from what I see has no aril
characteristics - maybe the rhizome does. Is this the way the bloom
really is?
I am trying to figure out all the hoopla over HOOPLA? Thanks, if you
can help me understand this plant. >>
Are you looking for the onco traits shown by most 3/4-breds? HOOPLA is one
of a handful of 3/4-breds that come from I. stolonifera lines and show its
traits. Compare it to Danielson's half-stolonifera introductions and I think
you'll see it has a lot more in common with them than with the predominantly
onco 3/4-breds of that era.
The light ground, yellow rim, splash of lavender on the falls that is most
intense near the beard -- all are characteristic of stoloniferabreds.
The "hoopla over HOOPLA" was that it appeared at a time when pastel 3/4-breds
were still quite rare.
