![]() Wiloh's White Magic (Wilkes-McAllister, 1992)For hybridizers only. Wiloh Wilkes seedling from (Imam Ahmid x Kalifa Gulnare) X ( W7 x I. benjamimii), used by Gene Hunt to produce Promise to Elizabeth, among others. It's presumably a triploid, from (Imam Ahmid X Kalifa Gulnare) X (W7 x I. benjaminii) – but has proven to be a relatively fertile one. It's one of my favorite candidates for breeding along the "Triploid Route" and a high percentage of the resultant seedlings have proven fertile themselves. One of the best at giving pastels with delicate dotting. Gene Hunt used it as a seedling and reported that it sometimes "throws" nice signals. I've found it if it is crossed with a flower that has a subtle signal, the offspring usually have more prominent signals because WWM enhances the contrast by suppressing other pigments. Gene originally obtained the seeds from Wiloh Wilkes, raised a number of seedlings and used this one extensively in his lines. Eventually, I introduced it because of its value as a breeder. The "White Magic" is simply what it can do as a parent. Its ASI code is OGB+. ![]() |
