Fred, your stuff is gorgeous, but I am just out of space and energy. Kind of made a decision several years ago to do the big ones, and I still love Big Delight! There are several seedlings from it that are the same size and coloring... Your first one above is a real knockout though!!! Great job!
Well, thank you to all who are expanding the possibilities! We need some thrillers, whether large flowers or interesting patterns, included in our gardens to put on the best show!
We had a major pour down before dawn, and I wasn't in the mood to be wet to my waist, so I didn't take very many photos. Some are water spotted, but it is what it is!
OK, no bloom....yet.
My very first attempt to see if dark-scape genes can be passed on.
Looks like it is possible, 1 for 1 so far. Albeit not as dark as the darker-scaped parent.

Hi! This is my first time posting a seedling....I was very excited about this one!!! This is the second seedling to bloom out of this cross.....and this one wowed me! 7.5 inch flower, 40 inch scape. Cross is 'Dancing Flamingo ×Jefferson Airplane'
All of your seedlings are beautiful!
