Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plants: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
 
Comments: This is the F2 generation crossing 2 siblings from equestris 'Three Times A Lady' x equestris 'Blue Too'. The siblings were amazingly uniform. 'Ariel' had the largest flowers and 'Eileen' had the darkest flowers of the siblings. There's no way of telling what the offspring may be like.

Pod parent plant: One of the offspring from our TN2259 effort of 2001, grown by Gareth Wills. Small plant.

Pollen parent plant: One of the offspring from our TN2259 effort of 2001, grown by Gareth Wills.
