Scenic seal. Plain ring: nothing here sets a rib count, a spine length or a growth form the ring can mark.

Scenic
Partially documented
Scenic is filed in the community wiki as a and given no further description there. Our other notes credit it with marking less readily in humid weather than a comparable , but that comes from a different source, not from the wiki page. Where the name came from and who selected it are not recorded anywhere we have looked.Reported, but not confirmed.
BridgesiiNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.
Of the 4 things this page says, 1 names who reports it and 3 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.
No source in this library records a cross for Scenic. Nobody names a mother or a father for it, and no other entry here names it as a parent.
That is the record, not an oversight: of the 749 names in this library, 693 have no recorded relation either. Most named clones were selected, cut and passed along without anyone writing down what they came out of. A parent goes in here when a source states it and never because a name looks like one — a wrong pedigree would travel further than a blank one, because pedigrees get copied.
If you know where it came from, tell us — a person reads everything before it appears.

Notes
Gets humidity blisters less than a comparable clone in the same conditions.One source states this, and our house botanist has checked it. Clones differ in skin response to humidity, so one blistering less than another in the same conditions is plausible.
What the sources say
Our own notes already carry a fact about Scenic — that it picks up humidity blisters less than a similar clone — sourced from a YouTube channel; the wiki page adds nothing to it, so the two records differ in depth rather than in substance.Reported, but not confirmed.
