"Another seedling we're lining out to look at for possibly 2016. 11-TB-16-23 (parentage is Smoky Shadows X Iconic). Tall, dark, and ruffled. Somewhat similar to Smoky Shadows, but taller, more intense darker standards, and darker falls with cleaner areas near the beard."

They are right to only introduce a few each year working for quality. I love that AB, but afraid that it is half bred not quarter bred & those do better here.

I love the beard on the white seedling. Does it have a tiny bit of blue on the edges of the falls or is that just wishful thinking on my part?
