("Tims's Black" x villenaorum) x "Wonder Boy A"

I don't have much to say about the seed parent, Tims's Black x villenaorum, so I won't pretend otherwise. It's on the tag, it did its job, and that's where that story ends for now.

The pollen parent is the more interesting half of this equation. Wonder Boy A came from Scott Cohen some years back, and I've never been fully sure whether it's grown from original Wonder Boy material or a self of it. Doesn't much matter in practice, since the plant does its own convincing regardless of paperwork. It throws wondrous emergent colors, the kind that pass readily to its offspring, and it does so as a large, vigorous grower. It also carries Tim Anderson's long habit of pulling something amazing out of relatively unknown species inputs, which is a lineage I'm always happy to see show up on a tag. This cross is a first look at what that emergent color does when pointed at something new.
