I love all these beautiful seedlings everyone is posting -- I just wish I had more and better seedlings, but unfortunately I'm still seeing first blooms from crosses made a few years ago.
Here are three siblings from a cross I made back in 2014, and this is the first year they've bloomed. The cross is PORT ORANGE x LILLIAN'S STUFF AND SUCH.

I've already posted a picture of the first bloom of this seedling, but here it is as of yesterday. I love the coloring, but the form is not great -- I almost wonder if it's a seed from another cross and I got mixed up -- but I'm keeping it for now, anyway.

This was its first bloom, and I'm not impressed so it will probably leave after I've had a chance to see a few more blooms.

Aah, now this one I like! This was its first bloom this morning, and I'm very pleased so far...
