Blockbuster

Blockbuster

(Gossard, James) 2010 introduction

(Delta Blues x Tetra Fancy Face )

TET 28" early MidseasonEvergreenemo fr 5.5" 3-4 way branching 18-22 buds. Fertile both ways.

Blockbuster has orange flowers with patterned eyezone of light blue, maroon, and wine with a yellow green throat. Super nice patterned flower, even the petal edges are starting to show color and pattern. I just love the wide patterns on the sepals. I believe it is important to see the sepals, it really adds to the display. This is especially important when hybridizing for the narrow forms. Blockbuster is in between and can be utilized in round or narrow hybridizing. Special thanks to John Benz for the use of his conversion of TETRA FANCY FACE. This is the first introduction out of Tetra Fancy Face that I know of. Lots of conversions in Blockbuster such as Tetra Fancy Face, Tetra Elfin Etching, Tetra Blue Moon Rising, Tetra Janice Brown, Tetra Siloam Virginia Henson and Tetra Priscilla's Smile. Blockbuster is a break through in pattern breeding at the tet level. If you like the Bob Faulkner diploid patterns, wait no more they are here at the tet level. Northern Hardy.......$100
