PAUL H. LINK - # 2004-74 - Dor.Tet.M.36”7”Gorgeous, true bright lavender with bright green throat. This is a lavender bitone, but the difference is only perceptible up close.

STARMAN’S GALAXY  - # 2001-12 - Dor.Dip.M. 48”-52”10.25”Huge and eyecatching yellow spider with striking triangular red eyezone.  However, the part of the eyezone on the sepals is so light that the flower appears to be banded even the shortest distance.  The band on the petals extends almost to the tips, and is so strongly marked, it sets this flower off to zap one’s eye in the garden. The throat is gold, but the heart of the flower becomes green. This flower is a bitone, but one does not notice this unless at a short distance.    The ratio can vary from 4.3/-6/1 here.  Three way branching. BC = 17.

TROPIC BIRD - # 2000-46 - Dor.Dip.M.42” 9” This light yellow and light beige rose bitone is a charmer with a stronger rose eyezone that is strong on the petals, but weaker on the sepals which are also brushed very light beige-rose.  The flower opens flat like its pollen parent, and is enhanced by a bright green throat.  Three-way Branching, BC = 11. 
(TYLWYTH TEG X KIRSTEN MADELINE BURKEY)

WALKING STARFISH - # 2001-73 - Dor.Dip.M. 28”8.5” Rich medium yellow Unusual Form Quilled Crispate with a green throat.  Most of the segments quill, and they will often twist, twirl, or even bend at the  same time creating a “walking effect.”  The ratio can vary from non-spider all the way up to 5.94/1 when it quills to the maximum.  The effect is showstopping.  Two way branching, BC = 12 here.
