I actually have to thank one of my bestest of friends, Genni Kleckner, for comin' up with a name for this vicious little BEAST! She LOVES to bake (hence "Genni's Lovin' Oven, Owen 2012), and is ALWAYS makin' cookies for me! I may be smackin' her with ONE hand for killin' my figure all the dang time, but at the same time, the other hand is busy shovin' her AWESOME snacks in my mouth like a TOTAL pig! When I was givin' her a rough time recently on the phone 'bout it, she just flat out called me the "Polkville Cookie Monster"... and though she had NO idea what she had just done, she named my last remaining nameless intro! PERFECT!!! THANKS, Genniiiii! :-*

I've really not been working for teeth ever since coming out with "Ulterior Motive" (UM, 2007), which actually came out before teeth become so popular, and about as good as I could ever see teeth getting (at least for me, anyway). Since then, other breeders have focused so intently on them, I figured why should I? Then... along comes this plant here! Okay... why not?!

I actually like that fact that this flower isn't as dark as its mother (UM), because it's much more sun-resistant. There's much more "action" on this one too, with so much more patterning... and the green throat adds more than I would have thought. Though I'm a bit bummed it didn't get the "outrageous" performance that UM certainly has in abundance, the more articulate flower and overall appearance of it are really MUCH nicer! Since UM was a bit before its time, not much went out... so I've not much of this one available. So ya better getcha some, before they get gobbled up!!!
