Thanks Charlie,
I sent an email to the grower to see if I can get some more info on it. I cannot find Black Bomb on the IHS search engine. Hopefully the grower might have some more info on it.

Hey Jon,
Sorry, I meant Red Bomb but was thinking Black Knight. Anyway, type Black Knight in the archive and it shows both parents.
There are a lot of reds with gold markings out there, including Some Like It Hot, but I don't think this is that. What kind of bush does it have?

Hey Charlie,
The bush seems to be okay. It is still a young plant and needs to grow out a bit. The bloom was upright on lower branch. I have a bit of crowding in the area where it is at and will take a better look at next time. It is not Some Like It Hot. Could it be Gold Mine ?

Hi Charles,
I received a response from my email.The grower had bought it from an on line site in FL a while ago that I feel does not have the best reputation. I will take a better look at the bush this week to see if that can be of any help.

Hi Jon,
If it's the online source that I think it is, he shows 2 photos of Black Knight without the dark eye so he knows what the flower should like like. This guy once sold a friend of mine a plant that bloomed completely wrong and when he called to ask about it he was told "you are really lucky, you have a genetic sport". Ah well, live and learn.
Coincidentally, last week I received some plants from that same source that I am forwarding on to a customer of mine in Hong Kong as a favor to him but against my advice. The plants arrived with a bad whitefly infestation that I am having to treat for before I put them in my greenhouse. I told the Hong Kong guy never again from that source.

You said it best "Live and Learn" I know a lot a people that have been taken by him. I purchased my first plant from him which is still alive but quickly found out after some research that I should find better sources to buy plants.
I went on his site today and since he is the original source of my plant I think the cv might be Maroon Stars. It matches on IHS and a pic he has on his site.

Hi, Jon,
The arrangement is magnificent!
A top right one looks a lot like Maroon Stars, you may be right in identifying it.

Nice photos, Jon! Is that yellow in the group photo also 'Nina'? I may have to ask you for a piece of Nina sometime, I like the intensity of the yellow. Who hybridized it and who were the parents?
