DaviJK said:I'm going to sound like a broken record to you by now, Dennis, as I always tell people evaluating seedlings to look at the SEPALS first!! If a seedling has horrible looking sepals, don't even look at the petals! Throw it away or you will be signing up for generations of lousy looking sepals.


Davi that is such a great point! So true! I have to force myself to remember that!


DaviJK said: that red seedling with the quilled sepals rocks!! Not necessarily because of the quilling, but because of the cool hooks at the tips and the perfect color saturation. Quilling is something that sticks in the next generation so I would personally cross it with the biggest cascading unusual form in your playbook.


Wow Davi that really gets me fired up! Thank-you so much for that eval and pointer! I will definitely be working with this one!!
