*CORAL EXPLOSION
*CORAL EXPLOSION (Stamile, P) TET 9109-A
(Anasazi x Tetra Resonator) 27” EMRe. fr. emo. Ev.
6” flower. 5 - way branching. 30-35 buds. Doubles 100% There
is not unanimity about the beauty of this flower. I love it but Grace
is not as enamored with it as I am. I just love the flatness and
hot coral rose color that has hints of lavender and orchid. They
are big blooms on well branched scapes. I have not yet seen any single
blooms on CORAL EXPLOSION. It would make a pretty single with the
big yellow watermark that is all but hidden by the petaloids. For
the hybridizer there is interesting genetics here. Vic Santa Lucia’s
RESONATOR has lines from the era of SILOAM DOUBLE ROSE, SILOAM DOUBLE DUMPY,
TOUR DE FORCE, etc. and it opens new avenues for exploration. Fertile
both ways.
