Wonder Boy A x (Justin x aff besseae "Big Bess")

Scott Cohen handed me the seed parent some years back, and I've never been fully sure if it's original Wonder Boy material or a self of it. Doesn't matter much - the plant throws wondrous emergent colors and passes them on without complaint, all while being large and vigorous in that Tim Anderson way, where unknown species inputs get wrangled into something amazing.

The pollen parent was one of two keepers from an early "Justin" batch, held onto for its wide sinus and prominent veins. It's proven to be a vigorous parent in its own right, and when the spadix is receptive it actually smells pleasant - a small mercy, since aff besseae "Big Bess" usually contributes mothball stench to the equation instead.

Expect height from this one. The seed parent sits around three feet at maturity, and these seedlings should follow suit. Magnificum genetics are buried somewhere in there, and that lineage does not know how to stay small.
