Description: A seedling (new plant grown from seed) of lactiflora origin (parent plant likely 'Krinkled White'). In seeing its first flowering I suspect this will be a plant that is free flowering and carpeted with blooms as stems produced up to three secondary flowers per stem (a trait possibly carried forward by 'Krinkled White', if that is indeed the parent plant) which obscured the foliage when viewed from a distance. Tight stamen puff resembles a tastefully-proportioned central yellow "button". Flowers have an airy and carefree appearance to them and appeared quite charming when swaying in the wind, but ultimately they do not provide unique value over the an already large pool of lactiflora cultivars which has resulted in a cull from my breeding program.
