I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! Celebrating Gardening: 2015
The seedlings are coming on strong right now have noticed that all my crosses with (Jealous Guy, Magical, Head Over Heels, My Beloved & Friendly Advice) have really good growth on them some with 12+ increases and after our cold winter I am really impressed with each of these.It is encouraging when you plant 1 seedling in the spring and the following year come out and find what looks like good clumps growing the next year, all of these showed the most important characteristics for me (winter hardiness and growth) without them a pretty flower is worthless. I am excited to see what blooms out of them hopefully there is a winner in the bunch Smiling

(Noble Gesture) is another good one it is impressive as well it looks really good all over my garden this year and it has bloom stalks up already Hurray! so should be the first to bloom here this year, it seems to pass that trait on to it's kids as there are a lot of stalks showing in it's seedlings already. A couple others that are growing well and had stalks showing yesterday are (Oil Painting) and( Emblematic). (Magical) looks awesome again this year I planted back 30 bulbs of it last year and every one of them made it. Bloom season should be a lot of fun here this year. Smiling
