This is HOTTER THAN THE FORTH OF JULY X LILLIAN'S ALABAMA SUNRISE SEEDLING 8" 7month This seedling already has a problem, the bloom at the top want be fully open until the next day so the pollen and the pistil are exposed to the weather to long. Just a nice round flower "Little Bo Pink x Seedling" 5.5" 7month.
LILLIAN'S LYING EYES X BUTTERFLY COVE 4" second year.

Fred again i like all. But the eye in the last one is really nice.

Fred, if you decide not to keep BW&W x CTD or HTTFOJ x LAS sdlg I want them!!!!! Even though it has a problem, it would look great in my garden. They are just gorgeous.

I think those are all beautiful seedlings, and I am especially drawn to the first because of the wonderful coloring -- and the last because of that eye pattern! I'm not sure I understand the problem with the first one, though. Would that problem keep you from going further with that seedling?

I think those are beautiful seedlings too!!

Its only a problem if you hybridize Betty, the pollen gets damp and when do you pollinate it?, its also an eyesore to me, a bloom that's half open for a full day. We will talk Michele. This bloomed today on a 37" high scape with 7 branches. Last year it won best seedling at Pensacola on a 28" scape as a 9 month old. This is the tallest thing in the hybridizing area.

Bummer as I simply love that 1st. one too. Love Bo Beep XSdl and that last one is to die for.

Yes, I understand the problem now, but it sure is a beauty! And that last seedling is fantastic! SEVEN branches -- WOW! So impressive! No wonder it won Best Seedling!

Fred -- I say send that seedling up here! Let's see how it does in the cold -- maybe it will open all the way and then close cause its so dang cold up here -- it wouldnt want to stay open very long!!

I love that 1st one as well. I9 like the color and the form, too bad it is flawed in that manner. Really Fred, I have yet to see a seedling of yours that I haven't liked. You have an uncanny touch for lovely flowers.

Good one Christine

Have not posted anything in a few days because of cool nights and high winds, I think we set a record for the coldest nights in May. This is MERCHANT OF VINICE X LILLIAN'S JINGER BRED 6" bloom 25" scape second year.
This is another second year 5" bloom 25" scape.
Another second year 5" bloom 27" scape.

I really like the coloring on the last one.

Me too!!

I like the middle one -- love that crisp border!

All are lovely!!

But the color and pattern in the last one with it being on the sepals too is great.
