Curt Hanson, the hybridizer, has hybridized many good ones, but he doesn't register bud count. I assume he has some personal reason for not doing so, as in bud counts are relative things dependent on too many variables. Or maybe he just doesn't like counting. I really don't know why. If someone has grown Waves become Wings personally (I haven't) perhaps they can help you out...But as I said Curt Hanson is a pretty reliable grower, so it wouldn't be crazy of you to just order it and count what comes for youself........Maryl

I also don't have any experience with Waves Become Wings, but I'll second what Maryl said about Kurt Hanson. He has a reputation of producing big robust plants that do well in our zone.
