Mahieu Diploid 98-470 F
[CHALLENGER X  (MONT BLANC x BLOODSTREAM)]
50 ML RE 7 FR NOC EXT, 5 way branching 38 buds 3 way Crispate Unusual Form

When viewed in a clump these blooms do give a threatening appearance with the pinched and hooked sepals. PACK HUNTER is a crimson-violet self with a bluish sheen, lemon chartreuse throat.  Interesting breeding involving Stout's altissima-based CHALLENGER and Lonnie Ward's BLOODSTREAM with a Lambert thrown in!  Fertile both ways --great breeding potential or show plant, valuable in the late summer garden.  Full sibling to ROYAL FLYCATCHER.  (Mahieu '03).  Pack Hunter and Royal Flycatcher produce very tall progeny, up to 7 feet.  see below:
