DOT'S NICE (McAllister, 1992) OGB Koko Knoll X Promise to Elizabeth. Silvery-white standards, veined yellow around rim. Yellow falls veined and dotted nutmeg around a nutmeg beard. A proven fertile halfbred – but I have nothing to report about its offspring because all of the crosses I made with it were relatively low priority when it came to allocating space in seedling beds so I gave the seeds away. "The Coronel", as most of us called Gus Seligmann, was anything but effusive so when he said of a seedling "that's nice", it was high praise indeed. This has silvery-white standards, veined yellow, and yellow falls veined and dotted nutmeg around a nutmeg beard. I was trying to find a name that called attention to the prominent dotting, when Gus' classic comment came to mind and I couldn't resist the play on words.
