ZUNI THUNDERBIRD (Ned Roberts) 2003 SEV DIP (parentage unknown but pod parent is Talon) UFo crispate. Dark wine red with extended yellow throat and green heart. The sepals twist and turn gracefully on each bloom. Elegant ufo form that has lots of personality. Ned wrote: I wish it had wider distribution. It is one of my curliest intros and the green throat ranks as one of my greenest. ZT is one of the parents of Licorice Twist. ZT has an awesome gene pool and passes on the curly form and green throat. The dark color is dominant. Midseason, 7” bloom, Bud count of 16. 31” scape.
