RE:TB:Debby Rairdon
According to the 1969 Check List, no parentage is listed for Debby
Rairdon. In all other literature I have read on DR, it was a bee
pod, and, therefore, is unknown. If the two pinks theory is valid,
what were those pinks? If Mrs. Kuntz didn't record that information,
then unknown is still valid, I think.
WILD JASMINE is the pod parent for OWYHEE DESERT, BRUNEAU JASPER,
et. al., I wish I knew what the other parent was. These all came
from the same bee pod. In many instances, the bees do a much better
job than the hybridizers! This may be true with DEBBY RAIRDON. Oh,
all those planned crosses and theories down the drain!
