Fw: SOLAR FIRE X (THORNBIRD x unknown)


It would help to attach photos, wouldn't it?

> Here are photos of the first seedling to bloom. The first stalk had no
> appendages at all on the first four blooms, the second stalk had blooms
> with
> the hairy horns on the second and third blooms, but only on two of the
> falls. Finally both stalks produced blooms with three hairy horns. So
> the
> first seedling is a complete bust in terms of consistancy. Frankly, I was
> surprised at the lack of any appendage. I did expect that much, at least.
> Didn't happen.
>
> Otherwise the color didn't do much for me. Not a bad color, but I grow a
> lot in this color range and this bloom isn't as good. The deformities
> that
> were discussed here when using two SA parents didn't show up in the
> appendages. Not sure abouth the blooms though. Some of #1 had Y formed
> blooms - that is two of the falls were more on one side and the other fall
> made the tail of the Y. Plant growth is also somewhat squirrelly. Sort
> of
> pineapple type growth. That, though, may be a result of the dogs choosing
> this group to dig up more than once last summer. #1 escaped that more
> than
> any other seedling though. Another location might cure that. Overall the
> plant growth is quite strong on this plant.
>
> Since this seedling failed the test immediately, it will get tossed as
> soon
> as it finishes blooming.
