Brad, that orange is stunning, somehow I'll need to find room for more. Thumbs up I'd also have to find room for the other four you posted. Hope they all get introduced someday.

Liking all 4 of these, that deep rust colored beard on the first one is awesome, and like the pink pansy pattern on the second one too. Sticking tongue out

I liked the first one for the same reason Tom mentioned - that beard!

The third one, the self, is a really cool rusty pink. It reminds me of a more intense shade of Rust Never Sleeps. Actually more the color I wish Rust had attained.

And the pansy face has great color and form. I think 2 and 3 would be my first choices. Would like to see what one looks like when more relaxed.

So is Joe keeping all his seedling beds in Cali or will there be some in Oregon too (not like Schreiner's doesn't have the room!)?

Rusty Pink! I liked that one too, I couldn't think of anything to call the color, but it is unique I think, and I like your description as Rusty Pink. Smiling

Brad: Thanks for the encouragement. I have a large crop of Beauty Within X Butterfly Affair seedlings and hope I will see bloom on some this Spring. I also have seeds planted from Pumpkin Cheesecake X Hollywood Star. But you have me thinking I need to start trying some crosses where both parents are Ghios.
If you think there is no more beauty left in the world...Plant a garden!!!
