Galaxy Quest

(Benz) tet 24" M. Ev. (My Darling Clementine X Tet Jedi Dot Pierce) This 61/2" lush strawberry-rose beauty was the only seedling to bloom from the cross of MY DARLING CLEM- ENTINE X Tet. JEDI DOT PIERCE. One might ask why I would even make such a cross, especially considering the fact that both parents are evergreen, and have short scapes and poor foliage. Well, when you first bloom an induced tetraploid with the inherent potential of Tet. JEDI DOT PIERCE, and have only a few buds on a small plant, one tends to spread the pollen not only on his top choices, but also on every pod-fertile tet in sight, in hopes of making even a few good seed. To say I was excited when GALAXY QUEST first bloomed would be an understatement -ecstatic is more like it! Seldom does a seedling exceed your expectations like this one. These big, heavy, ruffled blooms are flat-open by dawn, even in cool weather, and the sepals on this are more ruffled than the petals of most tets. Plants are large and very vigorous, and hardy here without protection, despite being full evergreen. Foliage is larger and prettier than either parent, and scapes are taller and better branched with 2-3 laterals, and a terminal cluster, for a grand total of 25 buds. Very fragrant and always perfect. Fertile both ways, and producing spectacular seedlings in all shades of pink and rose, with form and ruffling to rival any pink diploid we've seen so far. As an added bonus, many of the GALAXY QUEST kids have fancy gold edges. $200.00
