Title: Strawberry Cream Post by: helixturnhelix on July 12, 2009, 12:24:44 PM I remember seeing this at the HVH opening in January. Is it safe to assume there will be more for sale this fall?
Title: Re: Strawberry Cream Post by: Charlie on July 15, 2009, 08:19:56 AM Maybe in the fall. Most of these since January have gone out to wait list people. Mostly I am hoarding them so as to have enough stock to make an ample supply for next year. It is a really different flower that I think most will like. The texture is like that of Byron Metts,a unique bloom itself.
Charlie Title: Re: Strawberry Cream Post by: helixturnhelix on July 15, 2009, 04:42:39 PM Ah good to know Charlie,
I think I will wait till next January to order one, It looks like a really nice plant to have in a collection. How does it compare to White Lightning? I know both have huge blooms and are High Voltage self crosses, I was curious if they are pretty similar in other ways besides their parentage. Title: Re: Strawberry Cream Post by: Charlie on July 15, 2009, 08:20:40 PM White Lightning is similar to High Voltage but Strawberry Cream is not very similar to either of them other than having white as primary color. You will see what I mean once you have a Strawberry Cream bloom in hand.
Charlie Title: Re: Strawberry Cream Post by: helixturnhelix on July 15, 2009, 09:00:23 PM Yah I realize that most of these blooms qualities are best seen in person. Hopefully I can check this one out soon.

Title: Re: Strawberry Cream Post by: helixturnhelix on November 01, 2009, 01:01:17 PM Gah, missed this one today. Are there going to be more in the store in January?
Title: Re: Strawberry Cream Post by: Charlie on November 01, 2009, 02:01:00 PM Beautiful, Chris! I love the pure white of that flower. When conditions are right for it to be big, it can reach 10". I would say that Strawberry Cream averages a little larger than White Lightning but both are gorgeous.
