Seedlings recently blooming (pics)

14 years ago

I'm getting them uploaded slowly but surely....here's some of my seedlings that have bloomed over the past few days.

I have no clue what the parentage is on this seedling. It's an 05 seedling and I love the blooms but it's a slow increaser.

I like the bloom on this cross...Minstrels Fire x Cherry Valentine, now if the scapes were a little taller, I'd love it.

Here's another of Paul Owens seedlings 7R-088. I really like it and it's been blooming really well for a newbie in my garden.

This Enchanted April baby looks a lot like her Mom, blooms well, has tall scapes and increases nicely. I think I'll keep her! :)

This one doubled finally...I was hoping to get some doubles out of this cross. Jungle Beauty x Land Of Cotton....the bloom is huge too. Kind of a odd color isn't it? :)

I really love the color and the watermark on this Hearts Of Fire x Mal kid.

This was a nice surprise in the seedling patch this morning, Bangkok Bay x Ed Brown.

Another EB baby bloomed today too. All Fired Up x Ed Brown

A large lavender bloom from Sweet Mercy (a double) x Lavender Stardust.

And last, a white seedling that I have. I don't know the cross. I did it several years ago when I didn't keep track of such things. :) Anyway, here's two shots of it, one with my notebook in the photo so you can compare the white paper with the bloom and see just how white it is. This is the whitest dl in my garden.

That's it for now.

Boy, you are brave! Jungle Beauty x Land of Cotton - Jan, what were you thinking??? Actually ... the seedling turned out quite nice. You will have to post more pics of that one for me so I can watch it...you've made me curious. And that's half the fun, isn't it?

My favorite photo is of Palace Garden Beauty. The rabbits ate my scapes, so it's nice to see a bloom of it somewhere. Your photo of it is excellent! I just love PGB, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for rebloom. Autumn Wood is one of the all-time greats. Mine always blooms much darker than your photo. I enjoyed looking at your album again. Your latest photo fo Metaphysical Moment is a killer. Debra Debra

Thanks for your answer about the cross, Linda! And the comments on Red Friday. It's not my favorite DL because it is short and looks kinda like a piece of cloth after too many washings. I thought it gave teeth but just googled and Randy Stephens is a toothy flower itself. I thought about using RF for some crosses but only tried with Chance Encounter last year. Again, your seedlings from RF are gorgeous!

Thanks for the encouraging comments. These seedlings were all started under lights in January of 2008. Some of them bloomed last September through October. For many of them this is their first summer to bloom. That's why I think they need more time before a final evaluation. The red one is from a cross using Tet Robert Oliver. That one measured almost 7" this morning and the scape is almost like a tree trunk. Number 6 measured at 6" with decent branching and a height of 36". So things may improve some next year. Linda

All of these are simply gorgeous. It must be fun to watch a new one open. #07-020 (JBxLOC), reminds me of PINK PEPPERMINT or even NELL DEAN. I really like your seedling because I love those peachy pinks.

Thanks.

So many wonderful seedlings Jan! My favorite is the HOF x MAL. I have a cross in my seedling bed with MAL as pod parent, I'll have to check for scapes to see if it will bloom this year....I WOULD LOVE to have a piece of your white seedling to hybridize with! Is it Dip or Tet?

Thanks everybody..for the comments on my seedlings. :)

Nancy...the white seedling is probably a dip...but I haven't tried to set any pods on it. Maybe I'll do that today to see what ploidy it is. I'd be glad to share some of it with you too. Email me from "my page".

Very very pretty! They are all wonderful, but I think that MF x CV is my favorite of the group. I love the light midrib with that color combo!

What an exciting seedling collection!
