6 years agoGreen Mystique--one of our few "rufflies".
Li'l Red Wagon--one good flower, one bad flower and both blooming almost on the ground.
"Mudbug Madness" looked pretty good today, the edge really seemed to show.
Lillian's Vapor Trail-very slim flower today, a little unusual.
I have posted Aniakchak before, but today out popped a beautiful poly bloom.

Mister Butters/Mint Octopus Seedling #4. 8:00 a.m.
Here it is at 6:00 p.m. It has good substance.
Entire Plant. I measured the scape at about 30". tallest on any of the seedlings we have.

Birth Announcement! Seedling FFO
Comments (11)No siblings of this cross. This is one of my 10 Gaskins seedlings I purchased this summer. I wasn't expecting to see blooms this year but have gotten to see 3 of them bloom. I bought these to use in my hybridizing. No plans on registering any of them. Of the 3 that have bloomed I see potential and lots of room for improvement. I've noted what I'd like to see changed with each plant and plan on crossing it with something to help with those changes. I'd love to see this one as an EMO and deeper coloring. It has 5 way branching but low bud count. So I'll look at some of my darker EMO's with better bud count and same or better branching. Pollinate and hope for the best....See MoreThree More New Seedlings Today and Three FFOS Yesterday
Comments (11)Thanks, everybody. I think the Dragonfly Dawn/Thundercat cross is the pick of this group. I will let MOM/DD bloom out and then pull it out. Maryl, you are right, we were having nice spring type weather here, but it suddenly disappeared and the heat is on--bad news and we need rain, probably a lot of people do....See MoreSome ffo's on new seedlings
Comments (8)All of your seedlings are lovely but the first one is really nice. I like the intensity of the purple with the green throat. The second one bears watching. I wonder in other weather conditions if it would break into a pattern. I would definitely say it has patterned sepals. The third one is lovely too even if it is not what you hoped for. It has rich color and a nice watermark. Nancy...See MoreAnother seedling, moving seedlings question, FFOs, clump
Comments (8)You can move seedlings any time. I've moved them after one year with no problem. Most hybridizers move them after the third year. I never have any place to move them to, so most of my seedlings stay put for four or five years. That's a shame Regal Finale has performed so poorly for you. Mine is performing poorly this year because of a lack of rain in May and June, but it has performed well for at least 15 years here. In High Regard is pretty. I bet it will be fantastic next year. That's interesting that you got such a light colored seedling from Kent's Favorite Two. I like it. The lavender seedlings are nice too! Debra...See Moreavedon_gw
