RE: PHOTOS: several follow up questions after perusing archives.

I guess that's Murphy's law that our most beautiful seedlings often do
that.  Before it blooms out, why don't you cross it with some good
grower and see if you can keep some of its good qualities.

This is my baby, seedling #96-MG-1P It will probably never be
introduced,
it's kind of an iffy grower, for 2 years it struggled in 2 different
places, then I moved 
it to a new bed and it had a 42' Stalk with tree branching and the first
4 flowers open
at once, just a beautiful show stalk, then it rebloomed this fall, and
now
I have 3 stalks blooming, it seems like it is blooming faster than the
increase it puts
out and I may eventually lose it.
Mike Sutton gets credit for the high-tech terminology (thingies) thanks
Mike. : )

This is what we were calling flowers that had falls where the color was
split down the middle with
one color on one side and another color on the other. Suttons may
introduce one of these, sometimes these do not repeat this pattern every
year. I'll be sending a photo next week of a new seedling of mine with
this pattern.
