I have a line of Miami Tessera's that are noticeably lighter than normal Miami Tessera's, and a couple people have commented about it, so I was wondering if I should give them a different name.
It does seem to be something that carries on, to the next generation.
I love both versions, the light and the darker.
I am certain the lighter coloring is from the original female I used in the F1 Miami Tessera project, when I borrowed Tara Smith's SMR Okeetee Tessera.
I have never seen another Miami even close to looking like her. I wish I could find one, she was really pretty. I lost her a few years back.
I have no idea where she came from or how old she was.
I am grateful that I was able to get some babies from her, and that they turned out so awesome!
The first two photos are of the originating Miami Dam.
The third photo is of one of the F1 offspring from 2011 (Brokk). He was one of the lightest, and has always been one of my favorites.
First his baby pic, then as an adult.
Should I name these lighter ones something different?
(Miami-lite?) LOL Cheesy, I know, but I'm wondering if I should distinguish these as different from just Miami Tessera's.
In the next couple posts, I will add more pics, to show the difference in coloring.
I am interested in hearing what others think.
Thank you in advance!
