I wanted to share a couple of my favorite Plicata Seedlings that I saw in his garden and show some of the kids and grand kids coming from them. This 1st group really caught my attention when I was in his garden the colors are just Outstanding !! but did not realize they were all related until going through the pictures and studying the tags trying to figure out where they all came from
it's easy when it's 2 named varieties but more difficult to track when it's seedling numbers.
My favorite for color impact is 07-176B I have had the Rob drool syndrome
for this one for years now but know it will never get a name because it lacks Buds, Kieth has been working on improving it and I'm sure trying to pass the color combination on, the 2nd from the end 12-103c seems to be a improvement at least for the few hours I was there to see it, more buds, nice stalk and great color. Hopeful we will see it sometime in the future or one with (07-176B) in the pedigree as you can see there are wonderful color combinations that can come from it and it looks to be a good parent. A seedling patch full of it's kids would be fun
