My seedlings 2019 part 1
I think I am going to try to post almost all of my seedlings that bloomed or still blooming this year in a couple of (lengthy) posts, if Houzz permits of course ))
I recently discovered that there's a link in my profile where I can see my posts and it was interesting because I found my previous years sdlgs posts and I don't keep very good records so it was helpful to find out how old some of them were ))
I really appreciate any comments but of course skip if you are not interested, oh also as usual would like to know what you don't like, because most of the time I Love all my seedlings lol But seriously need to cull. I have one patch where I will be clearing some that haven't bloomed for 3 years so I can plant next year.
Anyway, in no particular order
1 - from Man of Sorrows #1, tall, large bloom, a lot of my flowers are splotchy this year, it had nice blooms too, I just like that that is bigger than MOS
2 - another Man of Sorrows kid, first time blooming, I like the large watermark
3 - Tahlequa Flame kid, tall, plain but I kinda like it especially when it recurves
4 - sibs out of Blood Sweat and Tears #1 - tall, opens well, the purpliest of all
5 - BSAT sdlg #2 - like when it recurves but this year it didn't always
6 - BSAT sdlg #3 - was new last year and very interesting form, but just like this this year, it's tall too, I will keep to see what it does next year and if curled (quilted?) sepals return
7 - Eyes On The Prize x Elegant Candy - one of my favorite, best budded, long blooming, opens well, double scapes, sets pods, just would like it to be a lighter color
8 - seedlings out of Stranger in a Strange Land (SIASL further) which itself is doing horrible this year, anyway #1 - probably going to compost, it's ok-ish, bigger bloom, double scapes on almost all scapes, but just doesn't open well
9 - SIASL sdlg #2 - very similar, double scapes too, will keep this one
10 - SIASL sdlg #3 - tall, but don't like the form, will go
11 - SIASL sdlg the best of them, double scapes as well, funny but looks really similar to one I got from a different cross; not the best pic, I need to move it
Will continue in comments

5 years ago12 - Last to the buffet line x Eyes on the Prize - moved it last year and it's the first and only of my seedling that got taller and better, we like it a lot (it does look v similar to my other Eyes On the Prize sdlg)
14 - sib to the previous one and will compost, it's short and don't like the form
15 - tagged as Utopia or Oblivion kid but I have my doubts, anyway, very good scape, double scapes on all, kinda like the look but so splotchy; I would love to cross it with something but have no idea what
16 - my oldest seedlings, cross Chance Encounter x Red Friday #2; yes, I still keep, just can't decide what to do with them; this one has that stippled look
17 - Chance Encounter x Red Friday #3 - tall
18 - Chance Encounter x Red Friday #6 - med height, thick petals, we like this one and it stays
19 - another SIASL sdlgs, I have 3 of this cross, and they are all late, I think they will stay where they are because of that, but I'll just keep two of them, they are slightly different
20 - Tower of Babel sdlg, midseason late I don't know, sometimes I like it but sometimes I think I don't need it
21 - another Tower of Babel seedling that is sadly often splotchy, I really like the color though but don't know how to try to improve it, late
22 - Chance Encounter x Undercurrent #1 - med height, it's pink lavender, I like it
- 5 years ago
23 - Chance Encounter x Undercurrent #3 - very light, although looks yellow here, this stays
24 - Utopia or Oblivion kid, now that seems more like it, i kinda like midribs on a darker flower; it's in too much shade so it can stay there ))
25 - Filipina Bride x bee; new this year, I usually don't allow bee pods but I was getting rid of Filipina Bride and decided to keep, plus all my other seedlings from FB didn't survive; it looks like a slightly bigger version of Lullaby Baby, I will keep it another year to see if it gets any taller, too short as it is now
26 - Intelligent Design x Wild Horses; new this year, original scape was tall and just started reblooming on a shorter scape
Have one seedling yet to bloom left and it's the same cross, interesting because this one was early
27 - Lavender Heartthrob seedlings, #1, new this year, this was ffo after that they look v sim to LH
28 - Lav Heartthrob sdlg #2, also new this year, I lost a sib after transplanting but this one looks almost exactly, after this flower I broke all the remaining buds, it's med height but larger bloom
29 - my fave from Lavender Heartthrob cross, 2nd year blooming, 25 6, 14-15b
30 - Guilded Appeal x Red Friday, not sure if I should keep
Thanks for looking!
I am going to work on part 2

Comments (13)Well, hi there Ed...The light wasn't good because the sun was barely up. To hot for this old lady to be out . I had several good clear pinks this year and as you probably know, I'm a pinkaholic!! New word for the dictionary. Thank you!! Thank you Brad. I like the second one but i'm not to sure about the first just yet!. Thank you Sherry. It's exciting to see new dls in your garden for the first time....See MoreApril 2019, Week 1, The Warm-Up Is Coming
Comments (44)Larry, I don't know what that is. Do you suppose it could be some sort of Asian green similar to Bok Choy? That white base is what reminds me of Bok Choy, but I don't grow it, so don't know what it looks like at a young stage. Jennifer, I agree that the more property you have, the harder it is. At least the deer and voles have made it easy for me...they eat everything I plant that is not fenced off to exclude them, so I quit trying to have nice landscaping around the house, other than trees and a few shrubs and a couple of vines, because it all just becomes Deer Chow. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as it forces me to concentrate my efforts only within the fenced garden spots. I hope y'all got the photos done today. The weather here was bad in the morning, but not so bad by mid-afternoon. The sun even came out eventually, but now we're back to mud and standing puddles. The dogs came in from their dog yard, and I don't know what they did, but they all had wet, gooey mud about the consistency of chocolate pudding caked all over their feet up to their ankles. I spent a long time cleaning up after them since they left splotches of very wet mud with every step that they took. I'd rather have spent today in the garden, but it just wasn't a garden day today and tomorrow won't be either. Rebecca, I guess everyone was beyond ready for the Cherry Street market to be open and to have all those wonderful things available there. They sure did sell out early. I haven't seen anything 'yet' in the forecast that indicates your area will experience freezing temperatures, but I only look at the NWS forecast and it only goes out 7 days. Our coldest night so far looks like it will be Thursday night, and it really won't be that bad either (46 degrees on Thurs and 49 on Fri), but you're a lot further north, so seeing forecast lows in the upper 30s for your area isn't totally shocking. What worries me about forecast lows is that they often are highly inaccurate a week out. Last week we started out with a forecast low of 39 for our coldest weekend night, and then it dropped daily until it hit 32 I think, and our actual low was 31 or 32 but our Mesonet station was even colder---maybe 29. I think that whole progression of decreasing forecast lows for the 31st of Mar and 1st of Apr was a good reminder to me that just because the forecast looks good 6 or 7 days out, well.....I shouldn't assume it actually will be that good. The rain has been kind to us though....only rain, no hail, and that is about the best one can hope for in April. Areas of Texas well south and east of us got the sort of hail that was in our forecast as a general possibility. At least one area got much worse hail---Grapeland TX had mixed hail that seemed to range from maybe quarter sized to softball sized. I saw not just car windshields and windows either completely knocked out or with huge holes in them, but big fist-sized or larger holes in the bodies of the cars as well. Can y'all imagine what that sort of hail would do to a garden? I heard on the news that some hail-related injuries were reported---mostly due to flying glass. We were supposed to have 3 rounds of rain Friday night/Saturday and instead we only had 1. I'm okay with that. One was enough. Dawn...See MoreMy seedlings 2019 part 2
Comments (17)Thanks so much again, everyone! Thanks Julia! Yes, some 2 years some first year, I almost never cull during the first year of blooming. Thanks Kay! Thanks Sherry for liking the 56! I totally agree, way too similar that makes it even harder to choose )) Thanks Signet! Oh I need to be more brutal, I am way too soft )) I have a very small yard so I either shouldn't be crossing or culling like 80% of them. Thanks Debra! Ooh 34th got a like, yes )) 41 is a very small bloom, I don't mind 4 inches but it is smaller than that. I made a mistake, 53 purple is 19 inches, so the red 54 is even shorter.. I did make some crosses of them with each other, if they ever get planted then in 2-3 years I will know lol I really expected more from Heartbeat of Heaven but apparently my pink seedling has very strong genes, all its seedlings mostly look like it. I wanted to give it an edge and make flowers bigger....See MoreBest of My 2019 Seedlings With First Time Bloom
Comments (28)While I was weeding yesterday I noticed this first-year seedling has gone from one fan to four. I don't think I've shown this one before. It's supposed to be from two of my pink seedlings, but I think I may have put the wrong label with this pod. The rabbit ate the scapes on the other two from this cross, so I'm left wondering. I don't see it as an intro, but I'm crossing it with UFs and appliques. Debra...See MoreRelated Professionals
