You may remember that MsC had a sport of 'Rob's Humpty Doo' that she sent me.
The two crown cuttings from it bloomed a beautiful violet-blue, and I decided to call it "Humpty Who?"
Here's the photo:
Humpty Who Two!!
whoops

I also got leaves of 'Rob's Humpty Doo' in another trade. I figured they wouldn't grow out as the chimera form, but decided to grow them out anyway.
The first one that bloomed looked just like "Humpty Who?" above, only with slightly larger flowers, so I think I'm going to refer to it and the above plants all as "Humpty Who?"
The color of these blooms doesn't seem quite true on my monitor -- they're a grape-violet sort of shade.
My from-leaf "Humpty Who?" was blooming away this morning:
jill...good for you and thanks for sharing...have to look into this one..
whoops again

And the other leaf in the pot produced a plantlet which is also blooming now! It's different, but also quite lovely. The violet shading around the edges of the white bloom is the same grape color as "Humpty Who?" and (at least for now) I'm calling this one "Humpty Who Two".... hmmm, that sounds a little awkward, maybe I should call it "Humpty Too" instead...
Anyway, here it is!
Wow, it's a sweetie pie! What should it look like. Well, what I mean is if this is the sport, what does the non Humpty Who look like for real.
(honest, I haven't been drinking!)
ok sorry, you all posted in the time I was wandering around Belisle's web site ... making my order list if I need to...
Bob, if you'd like one, I have an extra crown cutting (one of the plants in the first photo) of "Humpty Who?" and I'm also planning to cut apart the plants in the leaf pot after they're done blooming because they are single-stalked and looking leggy. LKM! :-)
Will the real 'Rob's Humpty Doo' please stand up!!
Here's the link to the photo at Rob's, http://www.robsviolet.com/rob's_humpty_doo.htm
And here's Marjorie Bullard's photo from the FC database:
We had another thread about the 'Rob's Gundaroo' that sported on us.
I have to say that I love all of these, even if they're not blooming true to name!
Here's my "Guessaroo" noid:
So Jill, is it supposed to be a chimera? I couldn't find the info on Rob's site.
Yes, it's a chimera, but on his site it is in with the rest of the trailers rather than on the chimera page.
I has some Humpty Doo 's grown they striped .
What i don't understand Rob did not register it as a Chimera ?

registered as a Sport or even named yet.

For more Rob's Sports

Jill your 'Rob's Gundaroo' just Sported back to Rob's Boolaroo :))
http://www.avsa.org/Library/sports.htm
Nope, there's no fantasty markings at all on the pink pansies of my Guessaroo noid.
I don't know why Rob's describes 'R's Humpty Doo' as a chimera on their site but not in their registered description... I am guessing that after registration they may have discovered that it sports so often that it can only be reliably propagated from suckers.
well it could be trying to 'Rob's Gundaroo' just Sported back to Rob's Boolaroo ???
Hek most fantasy do not bloom true
And
Rob's Boolaroo (8053) 03/05/1994 (R. Robinson) Semidouble light pink sticktite pansy/bright blue fantasy. Medium green, quilted. Semiminiature trailer

That is why i thought it could be going back.
So many of Rob's AV's Sport
LOL you wanted stuf to add to my wishlist..:) Well I love these if some of them aren't spoken for!
Yes, it certainly could be heading back in that direction, Allison... But I don't think I should call it 'Rob's Boolaroo' just yet! :-)
Lorry, they're on your list... will see what I can do! They may be noids now, but they sure are pretty.
I have Ramblin Midget and it's fantasy but does not bloom fantasy :(( Fantasy's are unstable that's why I mentioned it.
You could just grow it out three generation keep notes and all and re-name and register it.
Since we're on the subject of trailers... Looks like I'll have 3 or 4 plantlets available of 'Ramblin' Angel' (crown cutting & a leaf pot with babies) andof 'Milky Way Trail' (just potted up 5 plantlets from a leaf pot, am keeping one). Allison? Lorry? Lali? I think you gals have first dibs on nearly everything, LOL, since you're sharing so many of yours with me... but if you turn them down, then they're up for grabs! :-)
Trailers are fun because once you get them started, it's pretty easy to pop off an extra crown here or there for propagation. So I know I'll eventually be able to share these with everyone!
'Allegro Appalachian Trail' on the other hand is not in limited supply at all... I think everyone will be getting one in their box whether or not they've requested it. Plantlets need homes! ;-)
I still have a few Milky Way Trails jave given a lot of them away. I have a couple Ramblin but like CHampions best ! I do have nice babies of Ramblin Lace with wonderful variegation.Some small babies of Ramblin ' Midget by Ethel Champion :))
Ramblin' Midget (6188) 03/29/1986 (E. Champion) Single lavender fantasy. Crown variegated dark green and pink, plain. Semiminiature trailer
>>>>> Mine are blooming Single Lavender
I would LOVE milky way trail and ramblin angel :) I really need more trailers in my life! :)
But don't cut other people out on my account :) I am sure I will adore whatever it is you choose to send my way :)
LOL! Our tastes sure do run along the same lines... girl leafed & variegated minis, trailers, large standards with Buckeye type cream & pink variegation... all my favorites too! I'm going to have a good time filling your box... To paraphrase a famous line from the movies, I think I'm gonna need a bigger box! *happy giggle*
Hey now- I am the third, albeit quieter pea in the" love-variegation-and-large-standards-and-girls" pod.
And may I also request a photo of 'Ramblin' Midget?'
Kenton
Welcome to the pod, Kenton! LOL
Go to Allison's "winter flowers" thread http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/576471/ and scroll down to Saturday's pics. :-)
Oh, silly me, I was just looking at that!
Thanks, Jill.
Kenton
LOl..I was thinking the SAME thing Critter!
We do tend to gravitate toward the same type of plants :)
Critter...do you like pink sensation?
I have some babies of her coming along nicely :)
Wow.... just looked up 'Pink Sensation'... those blooms look HUGE! From the description, it's almost like 'Music Box Dancer' only with variegated foliage! Maybe we should make a substitution on my wish list.... :-)
Kenton First Class say Ramblin Midget is Fantasy but mine did not bloom fantasy. I'm so happy to have Ehtel Champion plant and the variegation is so pretty on this trailer I don't mind. My picture I took was horrible fuzzy I will have to get better ones !
