ODYSSEY (Stamile,P.) TET 5201-A (Precious Candy x Bit Of Blue) 38”
EMRe. emo. Ev. 5” x 2.25” x 1.5”. 5-way branching (2 laterals +
terminal “w”). 30-35 buds.
From the first time COSMIC ODYSSEY bloomed I knew it
would be an introduction if it proved itself with its tall, wide spaced
branching all up and down the scape with three colors in the eye and
three colors in the edge.
Like all multicolored eyes the pattern is reverse on
the edge. The eye begins with an outer ring of fuchsia, then purple,
then blue lavender, then light lavender and then charcoal. I have no
doubt that as we expand the outer edge all the patterns of the eye will
be visible there as well. In my minds eye, it is not if, but when. The
base color is exceptionally clear lavender and a great improvement on
both parents.
COSMIC ODYSSEY, while far from having a real blue
eye, has produced my bluest eyed seedlings to date. The seedlings from
COSMIC ODYSSEY also seem to be much larger than most of the blue eyes
reflecting the large flowers in the background. Excellent. Fertile both
ways.
