Magenta Kisses (Huben 2013) 28 E Re 3.5, NearWhite w'Magenta Eye, Dor Dip Noc

MH0403.12 = (Frequent Flyer * MH0207K)
Price: Held For Increase

Description

Magenta Kisses has long been a favorite of mine, because it has such beautifully clear colors and such a sharply defined, very green throat. It is one of the spin offs I expected from my rebloom lines, but not directly in my breeding plans because I'm not working for eyed rebloomers. Magenta Kisses is a child of Frequent Flier, which can act as a color clarifier and often passes rebloom. It is a consistent one-time rebloomer here, and could be an important part of anybody's northern rebloom program. Even though it has only three branches and ten buds, that's not important because of the rebloom. Because it is only a modest increaser, I would recommend crossing it with rebloomers that have rapid increase.

The flower form is excellent, and it is a consistently good opener. The color varies slightly: in warmer weather, a slight pink sheen is visible. In direct sunlight, Magenta Kisses photographs much yellower than it appears to the eye. This is true of almost any near-white. It is a matter of the color temperature of the light.

Ancestors

• Frequent Flyer (Kendall 2003) 28 E Re 4, Cream w'Lavender Eye, Dor Dip Ext Noc (Millie Schlumf * Brocaded Gown) F2 An awesome continuous rebloomer, with airy, well-branched scapes. It is also an amazing breeder, passing rebloom and often taking on the form and clarifying the color of the other parent.

The heart of my breeding program, producing a great diversity of seedlings, many of them rebloomers. Very rapid increase. Tested and found highly rust resistant (a character passed to most of its kids.) Early And Often was my first introduction, and has lived up to its promise as a continuous rebloomer; it blooms non stop from early July until frost. Some growers report as many as seven sets of scapes per season. Unlike other diploid rebloomers, it is a color clarifier and readily gives up the melon tones in seedlings.
