CULT: multiple petals
From: "J.F. Hensler" <hensler@povn.com>
>>this 5 petaled Versicolor will be something to watch and try
crossing next year, to see if the seedlings carry this trait<<
The multipetaled ones are especially interesting. Does anyone have a clue
whether the 6+ petal JIs started this way?
Whether or not this versicolor shows a poly bloom next season, it's worth
keeping an eye on and crossing with just in case there's something in the
gene pool that encourages this behavior.
With luck, I've managed to catch a photo of Sparkling Rose' trying to do
it's impersonation of a polytepal. On close inspection, the bloom is a
"twin", not a true poly, but it certainly is eye catching.
