Shirlee
It would be best if you start another thread for the "contest." In the first post, you could put the photos, parent info, etc, and what will be given as a "reward"

I was going to split it off for you, but there is other info in the thread about naming, rules etc.

Juli

Thanks Juli, but the contest that Leslie was talking about is only for plants
that are ready to be registered. Mine are still under evaluation, so no need to
start a new thread, and yes, there was discussion about rules and some
other questions as well.

I'll just wait to have a contest when I am ready to register a plant.
Have learned a bunch with this discussion though. Really do appreciate that.

I've been called Ms. Hitler in the past. Hope you didn't think I was raining on your parade Shirlee.

No way Leslie!! We're good. See, I'm easy.

Ms. Hitler? I can't imagine someone calling you that -- I think you're a sweetie!

Facts are facts, nothing wrong with telling it like it is.

Thanks Betty. I have to admit it was a long time ago that that happened. I've mellowed with age.

Only three blooms today on 10 month seedlings, but they
are duds. Maybe some tomorrow.

No, you do not have to be a member of AHS to register.

I was so far behind on this tyread, I started on page nine!!!!

There are so many truely stunning, stunning seedlings shown. I don't know how you do it! But they are just too beautiful.

Thanks Rita, I read through the rules, but thought I may have overlooked
that bit of info. And thanks so much for your very nice comment. Really appreciate
your input. It sure does help when evaluating seedlings.

Thanks Ann, each month the weather has been full of surprises. I wonder
what August will bring. Maybe we will get a good month, and the plants
will send up rebloom scapes again with better blooms. Ok, I may be dreaming.

Not much today that is pretty, but will show you what I got.

((Continental Holiday x Darla Anita) x Written on the Wind)) 6.5in

Once again all Beautiful. I ESP Love that first one and the third one

Thank you so much, Shannon.
Appreciate your input.

Wow am I behind on this thread Shirlee. What beautiful seedlings are coming out of your garden. I love all the Wonder Of It All and Gary Colby seedlings. Must be like Christmas every morning seeing all the new blooms. Love it.

Thanks Stephanie. It's like Christmas morning with
a few of them. I'm liking Wonder of it All as
a parent for edges if I cross it with one that also has
edges.

A few more:

Wonder of it All x LInda Beck second bloom


Venetian Baroque x Moment in the Sun FFO 7in


Sabine Baur x Duke Ellington FFO 5.5in

Thank you so much Rita. Are you still getting downpours of rain?

Lovely!!!
