11”, ev, rec, TET – June Williams was one of
our very dearest
friends. Without
her guidance and contributions to our hybridizing
program, we would certainly not be where we are today.
In her latter years, June was concentrating her
personal breeding efforts on Tet-spider & Tet-spider
variants. She
was determined to reach this goal without the use of any
diploid conversions, using only Tets derived from the
Bill Munson line. She
developed an outstanding seedling, but was taken from us
before she could make it a registered cultivar.
We were allowed to grow this beauty and breed
with it. Although
this area of hybridizing had not appealed to us before,
we decided to jump in and follow up on June’s efforts.
This is the first of several releases from that
seedling and we are very proud for it to carry June’s
name. This
big, dark purple variant is a real standout in the
garden. Tall,
well branched 36” scapes carry up to 24 buds.
Quick to increase and fertile, but not an easy
pod set. "Double
