TOLDJASO (McAllister, 1993) OGB+ Standards have golden yellow veins on buff ground; falls have fine rust veins on yellow ground. Presumably triploid, from Child of God X Persian Embroidery. It's an unusually good pollen parent for its type, giving superior substance to its offspring. I've used it primarily for yellows and yellows marked with rust, but it's also given me an excellent, sun-resistant reddish-brown. In case it's not obvious, the name is a contraction of "Told You So". I have favored using the aril as the pod parent, of course, but the flowers don't always cooperate. Gus believed that it was better to make the reverse cross than not to make the cross at all. This was from Child of God X Persian Embroidery – a cross I wouldn't have made without his prompting – and while this is presumably triploid it has an unusual degree of fertility that still falls short of that of a fully-fertile halfbred. Standards have golden yellow veins on buff ground; falls have fine rust veins on yellow ground. |
