Thanks again, you guys. I do feel blessed to live in a great climate and have the ability to grow these treasures. It's worth every effort. Thank you for the feedback, it means so much more when I can share it. Rian, I'm very pleased to inspire one who has inspired me. You know, I have 2 little girls and it's still possible to grow with a furvour. That's the beauty of xeric plants... they can wait. Teach him how to mist and pollinate.

Thanks flowergirl. I'm not sure they are all keepers however. Rita, is it to cold there for the tree frogs? I don't know I just take a picture of this little fellow every day. When the bloom is spent, he goes to a fresh one close by. I also have an abundance of Praying Mantis this year! Val, the 5th one is an edge no eye. The last one is a surprise..I don't know the parents on that one. I think it a Lady Bear Bryant X Lake Norman Spider cross since it's with that bunch.. Debra, I meant to take a photo of the lavender spatulate today but got busy and forgot. The outer edge of the eye looked silvery today. I alway am happy with the G'ma's kids. The SOT is my favorite though as it has such a pretty edge in the afternoon that is rather white. I keep trying for a nice blue eyed one, hense the pal gar beau. dean, the eye on TR x TBE is almost blue. I'm working on it. The curly spider, is one of my VERY favorites. This is it's 2nd year.. Lisa, the Shores Of Time seedling is one of my favorites too and the last one has such a nice eye. I am going to try to find the parents of that one... Jean, #2 has such a nice pleated type edge, it's hard not to like it. I also like the edge no eyed one and Shores Of Time Kid is a keeper, I think.. Mantis, this is a first year for that one so I have no evaluation on it. For a first year though, to date it has bloomed several blooms. It has a good sized bloom but is a little on the short side. I'll wait and see. Unless I just hate them, I usually bloom them at least 2 years.. Linda,thanks..they aren't ALL that special but some are.. Marg, The SOT is my favorite of that form. The #3 one is one I am considering.. fancy that Christine. I noticed the Diamond Dusting on the cv today also. A lot of mine are dusted this year! I did post a photo of that uf before but believe it or not, this is a differnt picture. Since this is a first year, I am looking for changes in it. The outer edge of the eye actually looked silvery today!.. Flowergirl, it's most definitly a seedling. it's growing in my seedling tub or at least one of them It has a sib to but it wasn't worth a photo.. ngraham, also my favorites of that form. The Tree Frog was in Lucky Stiff yesterday. As the blooms die, it goes to another fresh one and these to cv's are together. Also about the same height. Tall!! Thank you all for your comments. Now I must look at a photo of Moonlight Orchid! LOL!!!!! Ellie

Like your registered seedling. Ususual and pretty. I love the color on Purple Twilight. I really am in a purple mood today :-)) But my favorite of the batch is Merry Witch. So pretty.

Those are all very nice with the last one being my favorite. I like it when the form is very even like all of these are. I have some, (Becky Lynn and Buttered Popcorn come to mind) where it looks like a tongue hanging out. And while I love BL and BP, I prefer the uniform look. Vickie
