I gave out a few of these cuttings at the Florala roundup this past spring for additional trialling before release, but lost track of who I gave them to!

But since she just bloomed great in the north (Pa) with all her pink and orangy tones intact, she is officially released for trade etc. She grows quickly and lush, with a nice fragrance, wonderfully ruffled skirt, blooming a med.pink in day and night high heat , but with dark pink and orange tones with cooler night temps.
A "simple" Seuss x Butterfly cross, she has the hardy wild form genes of Seuss (Hetty Kraus) Rothkirch and Ocre behind her, so anything is possible using her as pod or pollen parent, with so much great unknown genetic material to throw back to.

If you have one from the Florala swap, feel free to share her now ;)

I've given or will be giving her to several people with reputable online nurseries too, so she may be available there by this fall, if all goes well.
This one is very special to me for several reasons, and there are strong emotions tied up with this release that I won't go into here. But I hope many of you will enjoy Bonnie Jean as I did, and do.
