Thanks everyone.
Last September 30th I planted 200 seedlings in a 4X12 box, all survived the winter and are now nine months old and starting to bloom. About a third of these seedlings have the pollen parent TET LILLIAN'S THIN ICE which I lost over the winter. Needless to say I am happy all the seedlings survived and will see most bloom before they are one year old.

This is the first to bloom from that 200.

Fred - Those two seedlings are beautiful!!! I am amazed that you got blooms on a plant that is only 9 months old. That's pretty impressive!!!

Wonderful seedlings, Fred -- And I love love love that beautiful pastel WAVES OF JOY X TET LILLIAN'S THIN ICE seedling! Now please be sure and keep it in a nice safe place so Michele can't find it!

We'd all be tussling over that pretty pastel!

Yes, I love the pastel too!

Thanks everyone.
The seedlings I have been posting as 1yr are actually 18 months old, I
have three crops of seedlings for the first time and it's becoming to
much to keep track of.

Becky all the big guys in Florida get blooms in 7-9 months as we do
in this area, I am just running two months behind because of the once
in a lifetime winter we had.

If the nights ever get out of the 50s I may see a few teeth on this

Nice Fred! The first one is pretty even without teeth and the eye in the second is really cool.

Fred, things are coming along nicely. The seedlings are looking great.

Great seedlings -- I'm really drawn to your LILLIAN'S SECOND BITE seedling, and the others are beauties too!

Ooohhhhh I love LILLIAN'S SECOND BITE X IMA BIG TIMER. Going to have to go dig that one up

Very pretty!

Fred - Hmmm ... maybe there is hope for me that some of mine will bloom this year! Mine are currently 6 months old and most are mid season bloomers so they won't typically bloom until June and July.

I love ALL of your seedlings! Some very beautiful crosses you've created, Fred!
