Yes, I do enjoy her. Thanks for sharing.

Maria, I can't believe you have the patience to post and share all your beautiful photos with DIAL UP! =) Has Baby Doll always had such a short scape? It's adorable but I think it would be perfect if the scape was a bit longer. Your flowers are beautiful, as always. =)

Maria, that is a stunning sequence of photos. I fell in love with the flirtatious Baby Doll and the striking Fanfare. It is such a pleasure to enjoy flowers this way. Thank you!

As always, Maria... your photography just blows me away! The Hadecos are fabulous, and the "Not Rilona" is just like mine, but oh, so beautiful!

The way Baby Doll opened for you is adorable... as if peeking, not really ready to see the world! I just love the miniatures!

Hi everyone and thank you! Sorry to just respond now. I still had to keep my job...lol!

Pax...It's not that hard to post pics once I have my photbucket open. It's the choosing of which pics from the stored pics (gosh I don't know how many they are) in the camera that takes time.

This Baby Doll was planted waaaayyyy to late in the season for Hadeco bulbs. That is the reason for the short scapes. The second scape it produced was 2" taller than the scape pictured above. It will definitely improve next season. I have right now other Hadeco bulbs, also planted late in the season, that are having a very hard time giving out any kind of growth, scapes or leaves. Poor Vesuvius produced a 2" scape followed by a 3"second scape and the third scape is now 4"tall...lol! I really do recomend planting Hadeco bulbs by December, the latest.

Jodik...Isn't our 'mislabeled Rilona' a beauty? Funny how we end up with the same bulb instead of a Rilona. This could possibly be the growers fault. I can't remember if this bulb came with a growers tag. But the Clown that I bought from the same store had a Langeveld tag. Did yours had this tag? I have a very strong feeling that this is Trendsetter. My Trensetter did not bloom. :-( Soultan, did your Trendsetter flower yet?

Maria they are all very charming and what a presentation.Thank you.

Both the "Not Rilona" and the "Not Orange Sovereign" came in bags stapled with tags stating: printed and packed by Langeveld... and the importer was Netherland Bulb Co. out of PA.

My assumption is that this is a grower mistake... the wrong tags were attached to the bagged bulbs. The entire batch must have been tagged wrong, and we both got bulbs from that batch!

Personally, I like the flowers that bloomed... I just wish I knew what to tag them as! I was hoping to get some orange blooms for breeding, but I'm not the least bit disappointed in how these turned out! They're both gorgeous! Next fall, I will simply order another Orange Sovereign for breeding purposes. Problem solved!

I second Jodi on it being the growers mistake! =) My "Not Blossom Peacock" was also in a bag, stapled with a tag stating Langeveld. The "Not Rilona" and "Not Orange Souvereign" were from Nature Hills right? If so, we're talking about the same mislabeling mistakes from the same source from the same business establishment. =)

Peek-A-Boo indeed, how precious are those first 2 photos!!!
