When I first purchased this plant in a "general" garden shop, little did I know that the hybridizer was also visiting that day. He admired my purchase and I will never forget the pleased look on his face. Thank you, Bill!

Introduced 2007 Alttara Scheer
(Mature Size: 24"W x 6"T)
Small to medium sized plant, emerging bright chartreuse with a thin cream line following along each vein. Gradually the line widens, as the chartreuse area diminishes and an intermediate bright yellow makes the whole plant glow. As the season wears on, some leaves bleach out to a creamy yellow color, others remain tritone, and new leaves continue to emerge chartreuse, and quickly develop the creamy veins. There is some red speckling on the petioles.

Pic taken spring, you can see how chartreuse it is.

Polys more often than 30% in my garden and blooms more mid-season than MLa. Makes small fans, but the blooms are awesome. Pod fertile.

She's a beauty here and a Stout Medal winner!

Under further evaluation for intro at this time.

8" flower, 42" scape, sev, yellow with green throat.

This is one of the last select seedlings of Ned Roberts that is still in evaluation for introduction. The bloom is approximately 7". Hopefully I will be getting better stats this year, because it IS fertile.:)

Under further evaluation for introduction at this time.

7", 38", sev, mid-season, clear pink. Very fertile both ways.

Under further evaluation for introduction at this time.

Approximately 6", 30's in height, very unusual vibrant rosy red with white midribs.

Under further evaluation for introduction at this time.

Approximately 6", 35", sev, deep saturated red. Fertile both ways.

Under further evaluation at this time for possible introduction.

9", 40", dormant, unusual coloring. Can poly, but rarely. Curlier and not as spatulate as Betty's Pick. Very fertile both ways.

6", MLa, orange infused with red, green and yellow throat. UF, fatter and redder than Small F and Small I.

6" red spider, extended yellow green throat.

5" spider. I'm hoping that the lack of color in this one might enable it to give up its color and take on others.

It was only at the end of this summer that I realized that this is BR No. 10, a Ned seedling that was selected for introduction in 2008, but that didn't happen.

EE, 4", 30 Ht, coral red, green throat, very curly segments. 3x rebloom in Florida!! 54 BC, 7-way branching.

One of my personal favorites of the smalls, still in evaluation up north.

5-5.25", orange with yellow green throat, quilled petals and curly sepals. Very fertile.

NR Small F and NR Small I seem to be the same plant, both often blooming together on the very same day.

5-5.25", orange with yellow green throat, quilled petals and curly sepals. Very fertile.

This is one of the last Lambert's registered. It does have the tendency to poly, but not often enough to classify it as such. I'm hoping to bring those poly genes out with higher percentage cultivars.

These bloomed for the first time in 2012. One an 8" and a sib at 6". Cross is probably Someplace Special x Give Me Eight.

This one knocked my socks off but did I mark the exact location in the bed? Isn't that too often the way?

Someplace Special x Chief Four Fingers. This one has been proving to be quite consistantly polymerous. It has a number of forms, but most often that of a "loose" Unusual Form.
