Title: Midnight Sun?

Charles,

The pod parent for Lolita is given as Midnight Sun. Is this your own Midnight Sun or the Brandt's? I'm guessing it was your own. If I am right could you tell me what the parents were for "Midnight Sun (HVH)" and how big the flower was?

Hi Ian,

Lolita is Midnight Sun x Belle du Jour. Both the parents are HVH cultivars. I don't have any parent info on the HVH Midnight Sun. It's interesting to look at Lolita in light of the 2 parents because Midnight Sun is an orange with yellow eye and patches of yellow while Belle is a solid pink. In Lolita we see the same pattern of a light eye and patches but the body color is changed to pink and the eye and patches are white.

Below are photos of MIdnight Sun and Lolita.
