Tuesday's Seedling Picture

13 years ago

This is my 2nd seedling. I saw it opening early this morning and didn't think much of it. When I came back home around 9:30 this is how it looked. DH likes it. The bloom is just over 7".

I think it looks fantastic! Lovely pleasing combo and very "blue" eye around that edge.. wonderful coloring on both the tepals and sepals..

Thanks Nancy, Kay, Ruth and Nat! Dean - I hope that one will make a nice clump someday. At this point, it's only two fans. Rita - Thanks for liking #3. It's sort of old fashioned looking, but I like it. Maryl - Yes, I hybridized all three of these.I'm really pleased with both SOT X RR seedlings. They had just the look I was going for. Debra

You know what Ann?? I like them all! I think they all have lots of potential. As Michele said, a year or more at least to see what they are going to be like. Could be that your no fav will be a dog and the now dog could be a winner. I have been disapointed soooo many times, thinking I had something really good and as it turn out, they sometimes are so different you wouldn't recognize them as the same dls. They all are quite lovely even the one with a bad bloom... Praise The Lord...We got rain tonight...Ellie

It must be the forum, but where your pic should be, I'm just seeing the word photobucket....DRATS I wanna see your pretties! I've seen W. Oranges for Christmas so I know its a beauty. Guess I'll have to check back later, maybe it's a photobucket problem. Nancy

Glad you all seem to like the butterfly pictures. Taking them did drive me a little crazy since the butterfly kept moving every time I had it in focus and then I'd have to find it again. Fortunately it seemed to really like this plant so I got lots of chances. Kay, Nancy, and Casey-- Blessing is one that I really like. You may have noticed that I'm a nut about performance and this one has been blooming since July 8. Nancy, I love that Miner's Findings is very late. I don't like that it often doesn't open all the way. Avedon, nat, and lisa--I've been quite happy with the seedling. It bloomed far longer than either parent.

I think it's a winner - I love the form, and the soft blue eye against the lemon-cream throat.

It's terrific Michelle. I do love the bit of blue in the eye. Wait for the next bloom. It will be even better...Ellie

My word Michelle! That's a beauty! Just send it here if you don't like it. Those colors are lovely, and the soft blue eye and the cream throat. I am surprised you aren't doing the happy dance. Well done!

Oh I do like it. lol Thank you everyone for your compliments. I'm trying not to be overly excited about them because I don't know what it will do in the future. Early this morning it wasn't open all the way and I didn't think it was going to be pretty. But once I got back home a while later it was fully open and I was very surprised. The blue is a steel grayish blue. I meant to mention that the parentage is Destined To See X Another Night. I have several seedlings from Another Night that will be blooming this year. I think another will bloom tomorrow. Not as many as some of you, but it's enough for me......for now. Only 28. I need more beds.
I was thinking this one looked familiar though. Does it to anyone else?

I think the seedling is wonderful. It reminds me of Ada May Musick, but the petals are longer.

I like that combo, rather unusual. It looks big too. I like that tiny edge, that just tops it off.
