WHITHER THOU GOEST (Hunt-McAllister, 1985) OGB Dusty rose-pink standards. Slightly darker falls have an iridescence formed by a faint overlay of green. ((Kalifa Baltis x Kalifa Gulnare) x Esther the Queen) X Tuesday Song. Fully fertile halfbred that is an excellent parent for both pinkish shades and pastels. The real surprise, though, is that it can throw plicata-like patterns as well. Seedlings from a cross with a white-ground plicata included a near-white self, a variegated blue-violet, and one that is visually indistinguishable from a plicata – in addition to a number of more complex patterns. This is a sib to Boaz, which I dug by mistake when I misread Gene's garden maps. If you're familiar with the story of Boaz, Naomi, and Ruth, you're familiar with the phrase and will probably agree that this name was a natural. |
