I found my post from last year, where I linked a You Tube video in which Bob Martin explains the whole Alakazam thing. Here's my original post with the link:
***Here's a link to a presentation on Zoom that the late Bob Martin did in August 2021 about striped roses. It's about an hour long. At ~ 8 minutes in, he discusses the reason for sports, and right afterwards discusses the whole Frisco sport line, including why he introduced Alakazam as a different rose from Simsalabim.
