I find this interesting. This is a seedling from last year.

I spend as much time as possible each day going over and over my seedling patch and I often find myself re-evaluating whether to keep or toss seedlings over the course of several weeks of taking another look at them. Mostly I downgrade because I am probably too excited to see them when the season starts and also because as this task takes so much time, I become more determined to keep fewer and fewer.

Less often, things change, perhaps the flower improves after its FFO and I upgrade to keep status. I still am not going to keep the one I'm showing but it really struck me looking at the photos that I have to keep my eyes open and not just ignore them based on the color ribbon I've tied on the scapes.
