Grace has begun to put full colored borders on her
eyed tets and these little gems are approaching the sophistication and
color diversity of the large flowers. This has been no easy task for
while the large flowered grower can tolerate tall spiky foliage or
broad wide horsy foliage, the mini grower can have none of it. The
foliage must be in proportion to the size of the flower so Grace must
breed for grassy type foliage. Moreover, because she breeds for dwarf
miniatures her foliage must be low and arching so the flowers are
presented above the leaves. She will deliberately go through my
seedling fields looking for “foliage” plants she can bring into her
program. She did this successfully with my (Awesome Candy x Panther
Eyes) and (Mister Lucky x Awesome Candy) seedlings to bring new genes
into her lines.
BROADWAY DIVA is a delightful cream yellow with a
bold burgundy eye and edge. It is a great little tetraploid. Fertile
both ways.
