ANGELS BOW DOWN   TET 66807 [sdlg x Entwined in the Vine], where the seedling includes Dixie Rhythm, Tet LBB, Mildred Mitchell, and Intelligent Design. 8”, 36”, 4-way (range of 4-5), 15 buds (range of 11-25), lots of Minnesota instant rebloom, M, Dor. Dark lavender, merlot eye, merlot plus ivory edge, chartreuse throat, white midrib. A good increaser with a long bloom season (up to 6 weeks). Fertile both ways, but more difficult than average pod parent (although it’s lots easier than parent EITV). Haven’t seen any kids yet, but I made a lot of crosses with it this spring because of its dormancy, size, color, and patterned genetics. Faults? It is not always as vibrant as the first picture, and because of the size/weight of its blooms, the scapes can sometimes lean a bit.
