I like the guesses! Keep em coming ....
Regina - Well, I should have given any stats I had on the parents. (If I had stats recorded.)
The seedling pod parent (CCC05) has only bloomed once since I've grown it. Fortunately, I did cross it at that time. It had a short scape down in the foliage (though that could have been because it was a young seedling) and had a low bud count.
Little Jet Setter, the pollen parent, is almost the opposite. It has taller scapes above the leaves with many buds/blooms.
Colors are quite the opposite, too. The two parent plants couldn't be much more different from one another.
Looking at the soon to bloom seedling, TTT27, it appears to have a bud count and scape height of Little Jet Setter. Observing the shape of the buds, it looks like it is going to have the shape and size of something in-between the two parents. And I see some dark reddish-orange on the buds showing through. So it may resemble a grandparent from CCC05 (pod parent) that has a similar color. But who knows? The first bloom should open within the next day or two. I will post a photo when it does.
Elena - I do in fact have another seedling of the same cross. It is actually growing right next to this one. And it has 2 scapes forming with buds. But it is about a week or so behind in growth of TTT27.
The stats I recorded on CCC05 (pod parent) was that the bloom was 6" and the scape was 12".
Here are the stats on Little Jet Setter:
I can't wait for all these first ever to bloom seedlings show their mystery blooms!
