REPEAT THE SOUNDING JOY TET 5605 (sdlg x sdlg), where the seedlings include Tet Dragon’s Eye, Dixie Rhythm, Tet LBB several times, Regal Majesty, Clothed in Glory, Heartbeat of Heaven, Light of the World, Way of Life, Lake Effect, Pirate Lady, Uppermost Edge, Wolf Eyes, etc. 5.75” (range of 5-6” and usually 6”), 30”, 4-way (range of 2-5 way), 18 buds (range of 10-33), Sev, M, Re (and Minnesota instant rebloom on most fans), fr.. Pink cranberry with cranberry etched dark lavender eye and edge trimmed in ivory; chartreuse throat. A pretty flower, but recommended primarily for hybridizers because of the ASTONISHING NUMBER OF INTRODUCTION QUALITY KIDS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF IT THAT ARE THEMSELVES AMAZING PARENTS (like All Things to All Men, 13107, 37607, 46707). CLICK HERE to see pictures of some of its kids. This flower is a great example of why hybridizers should keep good records of their crosses – I would never have dreamed that REPEAT THE SOUNDING JOY would turn out to be such a killer parent without all the records I keep which show it in the background of so many fine plants. Easily fertile both ways.
