Mayor of Munchkinland was first seen by over 500 attendees in TIm Bells garden at the 2010 AHS COnvention in Valdosta, when it was a seedling in the Region 5 Seedling Bed. When this seedling was announced as the winner, and TIm Herrington was called up, I remember the announcer saying the vote was 500+ to something like 37 votes for the next seedling runner up! The reason it won by such a lopsided margin was because when viewed in the seedling bed, it had this amazing branching, a bud count of 50+ buds (doesn't quite get that here in VA-more like 35) and a very distinctive eye. Tim registered it right after that. I believe I called him right after that convention or either asked him to save me one piece of it at the convention. Tim usually introduces new ones with maybe only 20 to 30 plants in stock, so his supply is limited and he sells out quickly. I've learned that if I want something new of his or Heathers, I contact him immediately or it will be sold out for years. For about the past 3 years, everything I've gotten from them has been sold out for several years afterward. Short supply= high demand!!
