About 4 years ago Patrice Drekkman sent me some seeds that I grew out. All were whites except this one. Their tags were marked Patrice "toss". The one was labelled Patrice "keep". It's never been named but I still have kept it so it's Patrice Keep. lol
And it is a pretty one. I love the shape of the flower.
That is a fantastic shape and color!
Very prety!
That is a beauty. Looks somewhat like some Glory hybridized from Whiskers?
So the tags from him said that or your tags?
Patrice Keep has a certain ring to it. LOL Very pretty!
I would officially name it "Patrice" it is pretty enough and the shape is nice enough that it deserves an official name!! don't you think?
Kell, it was my tags to remind me which ones to toss and which to keep. I can't name it without his ok. What I like most about this one is that it's the first that I actually pruned to shape that worked. lol
In old English a "keep" was the part of the castle where the owner resided, the stronghold.
It is a pretty flower and the shape is a little different. Since you have kept it this long, do you plan any hybridizing with it. Did he tell you what cross it was so that you could make a decision as to whether or not you would want to hybridize with it?
Patrice Dreckman was the hybridizer.He lives in Calif.
Well it sure looks like a Keeper to me,such flounce to it.I have it up as wallpaper.
Very pretty Liz .. like the shape!
Very pretty bloom, Liz.
Brugnanny, no I haven't thought of crossing it, I don't know it's background. But it does look a bit different from my others.
ahhh I remember this one! Very pretty indeed!
It is very pretty, does it stay yellow or turn orange? I love yellows that don't turn orange.
It stays yellow Mary.
Liz, it is very pretty! I like the shape of the flower.
