My apologies for being so slow to respond. My life is in quite a busy state right now. Your seedling (and it is yours because you grew it) is beautiful and quite special. Thank you for sharing it with me. Hans-Werner, I am including the link to the bloom and I hope that someone will reply to the latest question about recessive doubles... Thank you, Hans-Werner for coming back to post. You have taught me so much, and all is appreciated! Ann Here is a link that might be useful: Here she is - the immigrant from Florida...

Wow, all that energy from a wee one. I had 2 prolifs on each of 2 scapes of "Enon" this year. Each put out buds. I am sure they were drawing from the energy of Momma. I let one bloom. The weight of the bloom pulled the prolif off the scape. I cut off the other buds to save those prolifs. It is just so amazing to see such life. Congrats. Hope it goes on to amaze some more.

Me three, I like them all. The second one has a really nice bi-tone effect plus a nice wide throat. They all have nice midribs but it really pops out on the 3rd one with its slightly darker eye zone. They all have nice form & polychrome color. There is nothing wrong with using older, simple, elegant formed cultivars. Not everyone likes all the flash & ruffle of the newest ones.

Thank you, David! It's a big flower (check), great smell (check), not a huge plant so far (check), nice petal shape (check), good contrast on the colors (check)--yes, keeper! Dave, the outer stripe color seems a bit more intense than the original, though the petals are lacking that charming point and inner ruffling so far. Hard to tell until more blooms open up. The tree is just a hair under 4 feet tall, not fat or thin, and the growth has been steady each year. All my VCR seedlings exhibited strong growth that first year, but the leaf nodes on this are pretty evenly spaced. The foliage is nothing special and kinda sparse, unlike the one other VCR seedling I kept. But I think it may grow a bit less gigantic. The new branches off this inflo are not even starting yet, so it will probably always grow slowly.
