Reblooming

Fred - The sepal markings make that one special!

One of my oldest seedlings that started out great in the seedling bed and then underperformed as a clump in another location, is strutting it's stuff where I lined it out two falls ago. Dust Be Diamonds x Tuxedo Junction is a very simple near-white bloom, but I've always loved it. It has 6.5 inch blooms on 28 inch scapes with four-way branching and 14-23 buds (most scapes with 19-20 buds). So after many years, I will be registering this one. I haven't decided on a name yet.



This photo shows all three blooms on ffo today and the many buds.


I've been anxious to see what the bloom would look like on this one since it had such a robust plant habit. It's a baby of my Cowgirl Spurs and looks a lot like her, but it has a bigger flower, taller scapes and a few more buds. My goal was to get a larger flower with teeth all around the petal, but, like Cowgirl Spurs, the teeth are only on the top third of the petal. It does have a few teeth on the sepals, which CS doesn't. I think Skater is the pollen parent, but I don't know for sure since the tag is faded.

Ok I bought this seedling from Nichole DeVito at her breakfast in the garden with no scapes because it had a great plant -planning to use it as a bridge plant. I'm am more than rewarded for my choice FFE here


I got 8 seedlings altogether with the gift fan. This is another

One year olds

These are all great to see and there are many I would consider keeping. As usual, Fred your patterns are what I wish I had growing in my garden.

These of mine are all two year seedlings blooming for the first time. For me, most are probably not going to be kept too long.

21-001 and 21-002 (Both are Sherbet Lemons x Vanilla Stella) The first is 2.5" but the second is prettier with a slightly better bud count



The following are all a Linda Pinkham seedling x Freewheelin. 21-004 has an instant rebloom scape coming up

21-007 Squirrel Nutkin x Little Rootie Tootie - I was hoping for something NOT yellow. It is a miniature.
21-009 Vanilla Stella x Midsummer Tranquility - Sadly probably won't be good enough overall but I like the flower.
21-010 Vanilla Stella x Tool Man Tim - I'm giving up on using Tool Man Tim - This one needs to be shovel pruned soon.

Here are a couple siblings that bloomed together this morning. The cross is an effort to get more plants in my garden that bloom before Stella, which both of them have done by what seems like a week to 10 days.
