Here are our 2 new introductions for this year - names are pending but searches have shown them to likely be available...we are offering a discount price of $200 and free shipping if both ALSO KNOWN AS and ADENA ALIAS are purchased as a package, while single plant purchase prices for ALSO KNOWN AS (shown below) will be higher. Purchases equaling $100 or more will get free shipping - those less than $100 will have a $10 shipping fee applied.
Thanks you for your interest in our hybridizing program!

ALSO KNOWN AS
(Great White x J T Davis) - T06-01 - evergreen, mid season, 25" scape, 6.5" blooms, 3-4 laterals, 25-45 buds, strong rebloom.
$125.00 for double fan, price will be adjusted down and partial refund given if I can only send a single fan (and I will check with you first.)
The name, ALSO KNOWN AS comes from the fact that when I sent a piece of T06-01 to my good friend Scott Bennett , in Birmingham, Al, 3 years ago, his lively wife, Dori, named the plant THRILLA IN VANILLA upon seeing it bloom. What an appropriate name! However, another hybridizer used that name for a 2010 introduction so Dori's name contribution couldn't be used. Scott and I have tried and tried to come up with a name for T06-01 that fit the beauty and distinction of the flower and plant. A couple of weeks ago, while recoverying from hip surgery, ALSO KNOWN AS popped into my mind, I called Scott and he agreed, it fits.

NEGATIVES - IT'S AN EVERGREEN - it does well here and I have never lost a plant of it to winter cold or freeze-thaw, but the foliage looks terrible in the spring - it bounces back well though and leaves are low, very wide, arching and beautiful through the season. THE SCAPES ARE SHORTER THAN I LIKE - 25" isn't tall enough for my tastes but the blooms are held above the foliage. IT DOESN'T INCREASE AS FAST AS I LIKE - both parents are slow to increase, but this one increases faster than either parent - one thing for sure, it won't outgrow the planting spot for quite a while. PODS AREN'T EASY TO SET - it has some pod fertility, but it isn't the easy pod set that I prefer. A FEW BLOOMS WILL HANG-UP - very, very few do it here, but I want folks to know that it does happen - though, the blooms sometimes release themselves by afternoon.
POSITIVES - IT'S A WONDERFUL BREEDER - look at the seedling pics below to see what I mean. IT IS AN EXCELLENT COLOR CLARIFIER - it will clean up whites, pinks and even reds - I've yet to cross it into purple lines but that will happen this summer. IT THROWS EXCELLENT SEEDLING FACES - size and substance are traits that this beauty passes on the offspring - some seedling faces are over 7". IT OFTEN PASSES ON THE SCAPE - many of the seedlings are taller and just as well branched. IT OFTEN PASSES ON AN EDGE - many of the colored seedlings end up with a white or gold edge...and I've got a few with definite green edges. IT OFTEN PASSES ON REBLOOM - not always, but many of the seedlings end up reblooming for me.
Two different faces of ALSO KNOWN AS...the top one shows the slight pink cast that it sometimes has...
Seedlings from ALSO KNOWN AS...
The left hand seedling is (PORTRAIT IN RED x BELLE OF ASHWOOD) - the two bottom images are resulting seedlings, both were over 27" tall, close to 7" in size, had 2 laterals as first year seedlings in the garden this past summer. You can see how AKA adds, ruffled refinement, edges and enriches color.
The left hand seedling is (SUPREME EMPIRE x AMERICA'S MOST WANTED)...bottom seedlings are both 28" tall, have fertile, 6" blooms, have 3-4 way lateral branching with lots of buds and instant rebloom.
The left hand bloom is FORESTLAKE RAGAMUFFIN. The two bottom seedlings are excellent examples of the ability of AKA to clean up color of the other parent in a cross. Both seedlings are well branched with 26" scapes.
ALSO KNOWN AS and ADENA ALIAS scapes - AKA on the left - the far left shows a first round bloom scape at 25" tall - to the right is a rebloom scape - both are from this past summer (we had lots of rain!) The first scape has 46 buds, the rebloom scape has 36 buds. The far right scape is from ADENA ALIAS this past summer - taller at 28" with 31 buds, AA also reblooms but not as regularly as AKA.
ADENA ALIAS
(DIAMONDS AND PEARLS x CLARIFICATION) - T06-02 - evergreen, mid season, 28" scape, 5.5" blooms, 3-4 laterals, 25-35 buds, some rebloom.
$100.00 for double fan, price will be adjusted down and partial refund given if I can only send a single fan (and I will check with you first.)
NEGATIVES - IT'S AN EVERGREEN - it does well here and I have never lost a plant of it to winter cold or freeze-thaw, but the foliage looks terrible in the spring (boiled cabbage!) - it bounces back well though and leaves are low, wide, arching and beautiful through the season - there are dormant genetics in this one through the CLARIFICATION pollen parent so I believe it's a little 'tougher' than ALSO KNOWN AS. THE SCAPES ARE SHORTER THAN I LIKE - 28" isn't tall enough for my tastes but the blooms are held above the foliage. PODS AREN'T EASY TO SET - it has some pod fertility, but it isn't the easy pod set that I prefer.
POSITIVES - IT'S A GOOD BREEDER - I don't have many pictures of seedlings from it but seedlings have fancy edges and it goes well with whites, yellows and eyed/edged partners (there are a couple beautiful eyed/edged seedlings in the fields form ADENA ALIAS but, of course, I didn't get photos this past summer. IT IS A GOOD COLOR CLARIFIER - it will clean up whites, pinks and even eyed/edged cultivars - this is likely, again, through the CLARIFICATION genetics. IT THROWS EXCELLENT SEEDLING FACES - size and substance are traits that this beauty passes on the offspring - some seedling faces are over 7". IT OFTEN PASSES ON THE SCAPE - many of the seedlings are taller and just as well branched. IT OFTEN PASSES ON AN EDGE - many of the seedlings end up with a extreme bubbled yellow or gold edges and very, very few hang up in the garden...and I've got a couple with definite greenish tinged edges. IT OFTEN PASSES ON REBLOOM - not always, but many of the seedlings end up reblooming for me.
Richard Norris has grown both at Ashwood Garden and ADENA ALIAS is his favorite over ALSO KNOWN AS.

$40

If you want a tall (36") yellow with great branching and a southern face that has been proven to thrive in a zone 4 garden, this is it! Pods are difficult for me, but I've got some wonderful seedlings from LE...it also reblooms reliably here in northern WV.
PINK STRIPES
