(Murphy 2013) 32" M 7" Dor Dip Ext UF Cascade Introduced because of excellent plant habit, pure red color, and extremely green throat. The green throat dominates the bloom, fading to chartreuse near the edges, then melding into clear, bright red. Sunfast to about 95 here, with 2 branches and 20 buds. Highly fertile both ways, blooming for about 4 to 5 weeks here. Fast growing. Out of ROSE F KENNEDY by a Snooks Harville Seedling with excellent color.
2018- With our ample rain this year, Uncle Sam really performed well, blooming for a long time with perfect blooms. We had plenty of increase after being sold out. I dropped the price! Several hybridizers have shown me excellent images of their kids from it. 2020- Excellent performance this year after lining out last year.
Sibling of Devils Marbleyard, and grows much faster. It is similar in look to DM, but blooms longer.

Vanilla Ice Cream (Murphy 2019) 6" LRe 28" Dormant Diploid
Cream with a good green throat. Ruffled edges. Starts out cream, bleaches to near white on hot days. Very fertile and one of the best parents for white that I have used. Two instant re-blooms here under good conditions. It is out of (Running Late x Jims Evil Grin). Sunfast. 3 branches , 15 buds. Starts Late and blooms into September here. There are only a few plants here that bloom this late into the season.

Vigorous and long lasting bloom period.

WOODHENGE NATURAL (Murphy, 2016) Fall
42” M 7.5” Dormant, Diploid, Extended UF-Crispate
Out of Negative Image by a vigorous patterned seedling.
An unusual patterned combination of colors- Red and rose dotted bitone with a darker red band, tan to cream edge, cream midribs, and yellow green throat. The dark red color and the edges fade during the hot days making the combination and pattern even more striking. Sunfast to the mid 90’s here. 3 branches, 23 buds, fertile both ways. Almost all of the kids have this type of patterning. An improvement on its very good parent, Negative Image, because it is quite vigorous.
Triple fans or larger. $20

26”Tall, Early with reliable rebloom here, 5.5” Dormant Diploid.
Lavender purple with a hint of brown most days, reddish purple sometimes. Patterned with cream, purple, and charcoal eye, and unique light cream very short midribs. It is also a short for me plant at 26”, so Short Ribs was appropriate. Rebloom here is quite good, and it blooms long and slow so it has a very long season of bloom. Ruffled and veined, tiny green throat. Three branches and 15 buds.
