Does anyone else have pictures of your very favorite seedlings from this year that you'd like to share? I'd love to see them!

Betty - All of those are so pretty!

I only had three new ones bloom this year, and I like all of them.

Symphony of Praise X Henry Lorrain - It's reblooming right now.

I'm especially liking Orange Blossome Trail x Peppermint Pinwheel and the Trimmer seedling x Back Scratcher

Betty and Debra - Wow! Those are really beautiful blooming seedlings! Great crosses!

My favorite this year was Dragonfly Dawn x Dragonfly Dawn. I got 4 seeds to germinate that I purchased on LA from Rich last year. Only this one bloomed for me this year. Other 3 will hopefully bloom next Spring!

Becky, I just love that pastel look!

I see a mosquito liked it too, Becky!

Vickie - Thank you! I, too, like the pastel colors. It took me by surprise as I was expecting a yellow base color.

Donald - That's no mosquito, that's the FL state bird!

Love that shores of time X rosy rhino with the watermark!

I have lots for favorites!

Wow, such incredible seedlings here! Becky, I love your pastel beauty! And Ashton/Terry, I'm totally taken with your Nikki Schmitt X Blue Oasis seedling and your Beautiful Edgings X Heavenly Pink Butterfly beauty -- and that last one is wonderfully unique!

Makes me realize what a beginner I am!

O wow, what great looking seedlings. Nice colors. Im afraid I really went a bit overboard on seeds this past week on the LA. Every year I say ' no more', then such great crosses come up.

Betty - Thanks!

Pam - What seed cross did you purchase this year from the LA that you are most excited to see bloom for the first time?

There are some real beauties here!! Clean, bright colors, patterns that just keep getting more interesting and all the toothies....
A few favorites, Betty's yellow with red eye and edge, Shores of Time X Rosy Rhino from Debra, and Magic of Oz X Galaxy Explosion from Kidfishing. Can't wait to see what you all have blooming next year!

kidfishing, you do have a lot to drool over! I really like that clump shot of the Indian Giver seedling

All very nice seedlings, I thought these were outstanding.

WILD DREAMS X LILLIAN'S VAPOR TRAIL immediately caught my eye, too! I am a sucker for patterned blooms! Very nice all of them, Fred!

Pam - I like both of yours, too!

Fred, that first one is incredible -- and a yummy pastel to boot! But my favorite is WILD DREAMS X LILLIAN'S VAPOR TRAIL -- such a beautiful pattern on another yummy pastel!

And Pam, your two seedlings are really wonderful too -- love those deep green throats with those great colors!
