More popular than one might expect! I want the floriferousness so now l have to add strong color. Hybridization in new lines is always at least a two step process most of the time. Our strict criterion is a spike on the second bulb in the KP line and l’m greedy enough to want two!

So Andy, what might be your current thinking on what strong color to add to this flower to improve it to what you might want?
