CRANBERRY CURLS

Cranberry Curls – Hunter-A.C. 2025

A big flower, created by a little girl. Aurora was only 6 years old when she dabbed pollen on ‘Stack the Deck’. She chose a good flower to pollinate, even though it was likely just the bright bloom that attracted her. It proved to be a great parent, passing on its nice tree-like branching, good substance, and saturated color.

‘Cranberry Curls’ is an Unusual Form Crispate. Its burgundy petals are pinched and the sepals curl back. Narrow cream midribs match the fine cream edges on the petals and sepals. The green heart blends into a large yellow throat that expands out onto both the petals and sepals. The star shaped throat then washes to cream before meeting the burgundy of the tepals.

Both Aurora and I have used Cranberry Curls in our hybridizing, Like its pod parent, it passes on nice branching, substance, and saturated color to its offspring. A few of them are pictured below, where you can see that it also passes on its unusual form. We have only used the pollen, so pod fertility is unknown.
