Awarded Honorable Mention in 2007 by the AHS Hybridizers description follows:

This is my best Tet introduction to date, it combines all desirable traits. Dormancy, 5-6 way branching which is not crowded, re-bloom, 25 budcount, 10" crispate Yellow flower, dark green foliage immune to spring sickness. Excellent show flowers since first blooms open with most flower shows, many times with two blooms open in perfect show placement. Best of all it can be entered in the unusual form class. It can be divided in late fall and show no signs of degrade in bloom the next bloom season; this trait is extremely rare in the north. Only disadvantage is it is a slow to increase, however for garden flowers I find this a highly desirable trait since separation is not required as often to get best flowering. Pollen fertile.
