A Tet by Brian Mahieu

To date Brian only has one Tetraploid in his introductions. This photo is 'ROZAVELLIAN KRAKEN' in its first year of bloom. Only in its "infancy" here in Brookside Gardens in 2005, it certainly did not reach its potential. It's a 9-inch flower on 31-inch scapes, and is listed as a variable crispate Unusual Form. When mature, the blooms should be a neon pink bitone with a watermark and a white rib. It has a lime green throat, and as with many Tets has heavy substance. I'm really looking forward to the 2006 season!
