Yes, Hector. Especially the first and last one in your post is what I am talking about,
although all of those are roundish.
They are all very nice Hector. Are those your seedlings?

To be more definitive:
Roundish, wide, short sepals
Short but very wide petals

Of course, I don't want all of them to be selfs, but rather some with
watermarks or complicated eyes such as occur in the bluish tones,
although I don't intentionally try for blue.

And then as wide as I can get on borders for the eye/edges.

I like all shapes, but this is the goal in crossing.

Thanks!
I too love/want Happy Happy but may be too far north for it to do well.
all my Bridley Greeson seedlings (from purchased seeds) keep dying(do not over winter). Crying
Some just need to stay south

These do well here in N KY:

Oooh, love all of those Lisa. Do you have any evergreens or semi-evergreens that live through
the winter? Happy Happy is a semi-evergreen.

Okay, I just looked up some of your plants. Yes, you do, so Happy Happy might live there.

May have to try it.

Here is one I LOVED but I had not done my research and with Tet Peppermint Delight genetics, it died the first winter.

I haven't lost a flower to winter kill in quite awhile. Most of the ones I loose is to crown rot or like this past summer, to drought. We are now considered zone 6 here from what I've seen on zone maps.

Anja, your seedlings are stunning. Great picotee edges. It is so great to see photos of everyone's seedlings. I particularly love seeing those from countries other than the US.
