IRISH MELODY


IRISH MELODY

I am so relieved to know the name of this one that I've bought years ago. It was so frustrating always wondering about it. It is the parent of many of my seedlings. Tetraploid.

I hate having unknowns too, I've just found out the name of one of mine, bought it as 'Martina Verhaert' which it clearly wasn't, no reply from the seller but after searching their catalogue I found it!!!!!! 'Crocodile Eye' very distinct colour so no mistaking it :-) really like it its sooo floliferous and like it even more now I know its name.

Love the pale yellow/green throat combination.
I bought Jerry Pate Williams (2 fans) and it came in 2 pieces. After 1 piece flowered, the dealer said there was a mistake, and it was Moses' Fire. Now the 2nd fan is starting to open, and it is the colour of JPW. It is the same colour of a bonus plant he sent this last year that is JPW.

Oh I've looked it up and Jerry Pate Willa iams sure is beautiful. It reminds me of ROBBIE BUSH that is blooming now for me. I was surprised to see that ROBBIE BUSH gave me a single bloom the other day instead of a double and also it was a poly then.

You have to expect the odd flower. This last year I had a poly of Spacecoast Sea Shells, and Simbad has had one of Destined To See. Last year I had a 2x2 of Little Grapette - 2 petals, 2 sepals (page 17 of my photos).
